The state Court of Appeals today ruled in favor of the Wake school system in its effort to assign students to year-round schools regardless of whether parents consent.
A three-judge panel concluded that the school system does not need parental permission to send children to year-round schools. The decision reversed a Superior Court judge's order that required the schools to get the consent of parents to send students to year-round schools.
"If plaintiffs disagree with mandatory assignments to year-round schools, their remedy lies with the electoral process or through communications with the legislative and executive branches of government," the court said in its ruling.
Parent Amy Leinfelder, who began homeschooling her daughter after her school was converted to a year-round calendar, said she was disappointed in today's ruling.
"I feel so badly for all those kids who will be forced to go to year-round when it doesn't work for their families," Leinfelder said.
