Wake County officials have integrated public schools, not by race, but by income. New studies show the plan is paying back in higher test scores, but some parents miss neighborhood schools and doubt the links between test scores and busing. The integration plan will be a major issue in Tuesday’s local election. Host David Crabtree looks at the controversial school assignment plan with: Todd Silberman, reporter for the News and Observer; Jack Boger, professor of law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and Cynthia Matson, president of Assignment By Choice. Listener Call-in. (59:00)
