Wake Schools Community Alliance
New! Check out our forum section
WSCA goals are:
- Academic success as the first priority for ALL Wake County students
- Stable neighborhood schools in a community model
- Voluntary calendar options for all families
- Innovative approaches to improving education
As a grassroots organization of parents and taxpayers, we accepted the challenge in 2009 to become a part of the election process and help pave the way for a new breed of leadership on our School Board. In 2010, our attention is focused on driving strategic initiatives which support the achievement of our long-term goals.
WSCA is comprised of Wake County citizens and taxpayers, all of whom share a common objective of making our public schools a better place to learn. We are an all-volunteer group, powered by the energies of our membership. WSCA’s continuing mission to support our efforts can be broken down into three areas:
WSCA’s current efforts are in three areas:
- Research in education. Our group continues to explore innovative learning approaches which have proved successful in improving the quality of education, particularly for those students who are at-risk. Learning alternatives which appear to have productive potential for our school system are fully investigated and evaluated. WSCA publishes these studies on our web site, and is available to assist with subsequent evaluation and discussion.
- Parent and taxpayer advocacy. Our group remains true to it’s core objectives, and we represent a well-recognized parent and taxpayer voice in Wake County. This part of our mission includes interaction with the news media, School Board members, WCPSS staff, and other parent/taxpayer/business organizations who are also focused on education.
- Parent and taxpayer information portal. Most people in Wake County do not have time to attend School Board and School Board Committee meetings. Through our new web forum on this site, we will provide members and visitors with up-to-date information on what’s happening in WCPSS regarding policies, assignment, budgets, and other hot topics.
Our forums are open to commentary from all members who request access and are validated. We encourage all stakeholders in Wake County Schools to follow our forums, and to share their views. The forums are moderated to avoid anonymous postings, and to keep the conversation civil. In doing this, we have created a medium which encourages intelligent debate and monitoring to avoid impolite exchanges.
Membership to WSCA is open to all.
Please take some time to become acquainted with our web site, and please consider joining our forum. WSCA’s sole mission is to represent Wake County Schools stakeholders, and to continue to support our core goals. We are not a business, we are not a building; We represent the melding of many different ideas from hundreds of members sharing many different views. Your views would be a welcome addition.
