Ten years ago, Wake County, N.C., adopted a policy that assigned students to schools based on their socio-economic level, and after the 2007 Supreme Court ruling that limited the use of race in student assignments Wake County’s program became a national model. Today, the school board may scrap that plan due to parent protests, which would lead to more segregated schools in the district. In other news, NSBA testifies at a congressional hearing on the Child Nutrition Act and Bloomberg News reports on an increase in kids’ snacking habits and sugary, salty foods that often come from school vending machines.
