The Research Triangle High School is a planned independent public school with a focus on [STEM Fields|STEM subjects]. The school will be located near the Research Triangle Park and is scheduled to open in August 2012.
On 1 March 2012, its charter was approved by the North Carolina State Board of Education.[1]
Controversy
The Durham County School Board and the Durham City Council had both previously voted to oppose the charter, citing concerns of lower-income accessibility.[2] Proponents of the high school, however, explained that the school plans to target the area's diversity of race, gender, and economic background.[3]
A public forum held on 13 February 2012 allowed area residents to voice their opinions about the proposed charter. The response was generally positive.[4]
