15.  Contiguous boundaries:
Attempt to maintain contiguous school boundaries without using
satellite attendance areas.
 Respect neighborhoods:
Avoid dividing easily recognized “neighborhoods” or identified
“developments” or “sub- divisions” unless it is necessary to meet
other guidelines. Whenever possible and practical use major
highways, railroads, rivers, and streams as natural boundaries.
 Proximity to schools:
While it is recognized that all students cannot be assigned to their
closest school, consider students proximity to other schools when
creating school boundaries.

16.  Modify feeder systems:
In order to maximize facility use and establish reasonable numbers of students at
each site, consider the use of 6 middle school feeder systems instead of 5. This
would allow smaller, more instructionally suited middle schools and less
dependence on mobile classrooms.
 Stay within enrollment capacities:
Unless it is likely that a school enrollment will be declining, assign students to the
four high schools in a way that their enrollments are under established capacities.
 Consider anticipated growth:
Enrollment growth patterns should be taken into consideration, where feasible, to
ensure that anticipated growth will not adversely impact one school significantly
more than the others.
 Enrollment balance:
In keeping with the intent of SB612, attempt to balance the percentage of academic
and economic populations at each middle and high school.

17.  Sec. 17. (a) The Interim Board and the Nash-Rocky Mount Board of
Education shall make their best efforts to achieve a racial balance in student
enrollment, within plus or minus 12 percentage points of the system wide average
minority student enrollment at the following schools: Rocky Mount Senior
High, Northern Nash Senior High and any new high school within the Nash-Rocky
Mount School Administrative Unit, and any middle or junior high school that feeds
any of these high schools. A school will be considered to be in substantial
compliance with the racial balance objectives of this paragraph if its racial balance
is plus or minus 18 percentage points of the system wide average minority
student enrollment.
(b) For all schools other than those covered in subsection (a) of this section, the
Nash-Rocky Mount Board of Education will promote reasonable and
practical racial balance in the schools, utilizing and preserving neighborhood and
voluntary schools to the maximum extent permitted by the Constitution, and
consistent with sound educational practices.
