Raleigh, N.C. — School district leaders in Wake County are turning over hundreds of documents to federal investigators in response to a charge that a controversial new student assignment policy will create unequal, high-poverty schools, but some requested data was missing.
The Office for Civil Rights asked the school board to submit data showing how many students were assigned to balance diversity in the 2007 and 2008 school years, but school leaders admitted they never kept records of their busing program.
