there is also one more thing that is interesting. our school district, CHCCS (Chapel Hill-Carrboro County Schools) has proposed and might accept a merger with Orange County Schools. The reason i am against this is because our town and school district is very rich, meanwhile Orange County is just average. They are trying to use us to get money, since the merger says that the school districts will share the money, which means that Orange County Schools will get more of Chapel Hill Schools money. this will result in us getting taxed higher (our taxes are already crazily high) to pay for a school district that we have no representation or association with whatsoever. and because i live in a nearly 95% liberal town there is very little my parents can do to fight against this.
The whole reason is that our ditrict is very good. Our grades are always in the high 4's (GPO) other systems around us are slipping into holes that they cannot get out of. I think that this merger will never go through seeing how the School board of administrtor are to weak to have any say in this merger. Any ways we would be in college (or in jail) by the time this happens (time set is in like 7 years)
