New Wake County schools superintendent Robert P. Taylor wants the states biggest school system to be more nimble and responsive to parents, students and staff in spite of its large size.
At the end of my tenure, our goal is to be the national model of how you provide a quality education for every student in the district such as ours, Taylor told WRAL News in an interview Friday prior to being sworn in as the Wake County Public School Systems new superintendent.
Taylor takes the helm of the 161,000-student system the nations 15th largest. The school system has a budget of more than $2 billion and takes on hundreds of millions of dollars of capital projects each year, as well.
