CMS is recommending changes to East Meck in order to attract more students! The recommendation is to start a science/tech/math program. This may be an idea to look into for North Rowan High School rather than go through with the proposed redistricting. Leave the lines alone and make North a place students want to apply to for a specialized educational program.

I like your emphasis of CHOICE. We CHOSE where we live actually making a commitment by PURCHASING a home in the CARSON DISTRICT after doing our HOMEWORK about WHAT WE WANT for our entire family INCLUDING THE SCHOOLS! We were not trying the area out by renting...we did that for three months in a different county (closer to the job) while looking for our permanent home here! Faith, Southeast and Carson district, the perfect home (to us) within said district, the quality of life we want, the easy commute for work, etc....

The majority of objections on here are coming from districts that are being rezoned to NON-NORTH ROWAN. I am not North bashing....I am in the Carson district (I bought in two years eleven months ago!) and I want my child to go to CARSON, not EAST which will happen if the study map # 2 is allowed to happen in its ENTIRETY.

The current WEST parents commenting on here appear to be shifting to SOUTH if the plan happens in its entirety.

Question: What will the % capacities be for ALL high schools if ONLY THE EAST TO NORTH LINE WERE TO TAKE PLACE? The school board knows the answer to this question......I wish one of them had the strength to get on here to answer that question and the others that have been posed (see Thursday the 22nd Opinion section) to them regarding this redistricting nightmare.

oops....there is now a post commenting that, "A whole lot of kids at East are pretty upset at having to move to North as well."

The posting protestors are objecting to their district lines being moved into other district lines.

The board wants to increase North Rowan's numbers. This is shown by the aquisition of former East Rowan land. I haven't seen a post from anyone objecting to the new North lines...only the other lines....

I am objecting to Carson lines being moved into East lines. It appears the other protestors are West parents objecting to their children's lines being moved into South's district. These objections are not judging North as a "bad school" they are addressing the love of their respective districts and the wish to remain there!

As of this post....only one board member has acknowledged reading my e-mails. The two school officials have done so....

I am not trying to be ugly...I just want to point out something. Every property holder has something to do with the school system. Residential property taxes go towards the paychecks. I would venture to guess most of the tax paying property owners bought in the school districts they wish all of their children to attend. I want my child to remain in the district MY VOTING AND TAX PAYING FAMILY BOUGHT IN.

Your call to volunteering is great. Please don't assume we are not already volunteers within the schools. I have always been one!!

3.Beginning with a freshman class, North Rowan High School becomes a desirable place to be for any student in the county and city of Salisbury that know they do not want to pursue college, yet wish to have a vocational and technical school prep education.

4.The new North Rowan Vocational and Technical High School would add a freshman class the second year to the sop****res while the juniors and seniors would be on the previous academic track and so on for two more years until every grade was transitioned to the new program.

How much interest is there in this county and the city among students and their families at other high schools for a specialized school such as this? I wonder if there is enough that the numbers for North Rowan would increase dramatically. Of course athletics and fine arts participation numbers would also gain by making North Rowan THE VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL high school for the county!

Please school board, how about throwing Study Map # 2A and any others in the trash and work on the logistics for this idea?

I truly believe this will make everyone happy…..I will forward my thought to the board as well as posting here.
