| Abstract | More than a year after dismantling a student-assignment policy based on socioeconomic diversity and setting off a wave of reaction that drew national attention, the Wake County, North Carolina, school board took a step that may turn down the temperature of the intense debate. The board, which has been deeply split on an assignment plan for the 143,000-student district, decided to hand the matter over to Superintendent Anthony J. Tata, who joined the district less than a month ago. But Mr. Tata won't have to start from scratch. Among the plans he and a committee will weigh is one crafted by local business groups that would offer a controlled form of school choice to parents. That plan would grandfather in current assignments and allow a student to stay put for the length of the grade span at his or her school. Assignments would also give a strong preference to keeping siblings together, and to allowing children to attend schools close to where they live. But the proposal would also allow the district to steer parents to certain choices based on their children's academic achievement, to avoid having schools with a high concentration of students who have performed poorly on state standardized tests. Mr. Tata has said he plans to have a proposal back to the school board for approval by late spring, with plans for it to go into effect in the 2012-13 school year. Board members who supported the old socioeconomic-diversity policy, as well as those who wanted to move to a new way of assigning students to schools, have offered tentative support to the proposal, a signal that it would find a receptive audience after the staff review.
