Some Apex parents are planning to rally Tuesday outside of Wake County Public School System Headquarters ahead of a public hearing on the proposed student assignment plan.
The proposal is for the 2025-2026 school year.
Parents said the plan that’s on the table is going to affect them in a huge way.
“They don’t want to take our word and our experience into consideration. It seems very much an algorithm,” parent Kaitlyn Treder said.
Some parents have started a petition in opposition and more than 200 people are backing it.
Under the proposal , some kids at Olive Chapel Elementary School would be sent to another campus a couple miles away and calendars would no longer align with the middle school.
“It’s a hardship for my family and it’s also disruptive to my community because all these bonds that I have made with all of the families in my neighborhood, I’m going to be forced out of it into a community that doesn’t make sense for where we are geographically,” parent Bailey Butler said.
