Group objects to school boundary changes in Pitt County (N.C.) district

April 20, 2011
Some schools would become more racially identifiable under the changes

From The Daily Reflector: A Pitt County, N.C.,minority group is protesting new school attendance boundaries that it says will take the district backward instead of providing equitable education. Some schools are projected to be racially identifiable and low-performing when new attendance boundaries take effect for 11 elementary schools and three middle schools. The coalition has gone to court to ask for an injunction to stop the district from moving forward with the proximity-based attendance plan.
