Charters are predominately in urban areas and are richer and whiter than the traditional public schools in those same urban areas. Wonder why the Rs lifted the cap....pretty obvious....those whiter/more affluent parents want their kids to play sports and they vote and contribute
I don't think it's about sports, that's just a byproduct of it. What it is, is an attempt to resegregate.

It would be interesting to know how many charter schools in North Carolina are more than ninety percent white, or more than ninety percent black. There are some of each, and I would guess the vast majority are in one of those two categories.

And that's the reason that towns such as Huntersville and Matthews have been granted charters and its only going to get worse. But hey no one cares as long as the politicians campaign on issues that don't actually effect the majority of people. Too many personal beliefs make election decisions.

There is no doubt that the legislative agenda is to decimate traditional public education. The NCHSAA kowtows to the legislature. Both are to blame. But it’s accurate to say that the Association is afraid to appear to be penalizing charter schools in any way for fear of legislative reprisal.

The state could use the 3% rule that GA uses. It targets all schools traditional and non.
If you have 3% of school population from outside the county you move up that year.

I would love to see where kids live that play for all these charters.

One charter, Gray Stone, has students from eight counties. School is situated where four counties come together. Credit to GSDS, it is a top of the line college prep school where academics steer the ship.

Hey 3daughters, Hilliary lost. Get over it. The NCHSAA could just put all charters in a division and patriarchal schools that recruit, such as yours, in a different league or have them play to the population level they pull from. Take the race card and play both sides of it. Pretty sad when you can only blame politics on what is an issue that could and should be resolved by the governing athletic body. I'm sure you can go scream at the sky like the rest of the dumbocrats and maybe that'll make you feel better.

. The legislature, dim or GOP, does not controls athletic. The NCHSAA controls that and they could take care of the schools, much like yours, that have advantages over traditional schools. When your girls basketball team was winning left and right do you think all of those girls had went to school together since elementary?

You think the legislature has no control over high school athletics? How about when a state representative from eastern NC put a change of conferences in a bill for the schools in his area. It was voted on without notifying the NCHSAA or the other schools in the conference they left or moved to. It cause a a lot of ripple effects but the NCHSAA was told by their legal counsel there was nothing they or the other schools could do except go to court to fight it.

When Bishop was winning the basketball titles I know fir a fact there were administrators in Chapel Hill who did not like it. The issue is if you go after Bishop what about the charters. If you think there are legislators that do not apply pressure regarding charters you are way off!

Here’s the big one and the push is from very powerful representative from the Cumberland County area. Home school students will be playing on their home district sports teams soon. Get ready it is coming.

I definitely do not question the academics at places like GSDS or TJCA. Those schools are top notch. Just don't think they need to be playing with schools that don't pull from 8 counties for sports.

Do u blame trying to segregate(Charter)? I mean damn look at some of these public schools, kids grow up doing what they want, walking the streets with skinny jeans half way down their ***. I mean these kids think they are gang bangers by 15. If some of them disrespected my daughter in the hallways I’d show them a gang banger, a country boy gonna bang some heads. Ohh and been I need to get to another topic ASAP, LOCK HER UP!!

Nah. Move it to just this side of the gorge to Needmore. What's in Needmore? A meat processing plant (good sausage) and an auction house. Plus you're right by the lake there which will bring in millions like Lake Norman Charter.

Not sure what Hillary or Trump has to do with anything but here’s another tip sport as you get a little older : when you use terms like “dumbocrats” in the grown up world everyone sees your lack of intellectual capacity immediately. ( see your “patriachal” as exhibit #2)

Yet they wonder why people don't take Trump or his supporters serious.

Keep politics out of here would be my suggestion. Otherwise this gem will get locked pretty fast as it doesn't contribute to anything pertinent to the content.

Respectfully disagree. A significant amount of posts on the 1A site for years, which will only increase as we move out of football season, is about charters, parochials, magnets and the NCHSAA. An understanding of how we find ourselves at this point in time is the first step into trying to find a solution. Charters in NC are in a large part the result of politics.

How many more Lucas Oil titles will Davenport win? Will Bloomquist rebound this upcoming season? Speedweeks are right around the corner. Anyone headed to East Bay or Volusia in Feb?

We have no Race in Mayberry everyone is welcome and treated with respect I had a Mom and Dad that took my tail to the wood shed growing up. Back in the 80s at MASH there was no such thing we treated each other with respect and loved one another and knowing folks around here nothings changed

Sorry to say 3d is right about the charters. We are starting to see a push for more charters in smaller towns and more rural areas. That is a big part of the constituency. It will continue to grow.

The school vouchers was a big shocker. The representatives were a bit taken back when two of the four largest benefactors of the voucher program were the Islamic schools in Durham and Greensboro.

You do not pay additional tax for the charter. The charter gets the county supplement from the county each student lives in addition to federal and state money. Your local public school gets less tax dollars due to having less students.

2. Mt airy middle school 67.3 % white, 32.7 % minority
3. Mt airy senior 72%white, 28%minority

Anything unusual there sport?

What’s the racial percentage of this Country sport?

Non Hispanic whites are just under 63%. Just 27 years from now Non-Hispanic whites will be a minority in America....hope you’re around for that day.
