They’ll discuss the findings of door-to-door surveys in Zone 4, which includes Stanback and <br />New Hope Elementary. Fifty-five percent of Zone 4 students receive free or reduced lunch. <br />“What I might see on a daily level is a parent calling me and telling me they don’t have a place <br />to live,” said Aviva Scully, a social worker at Stanback Middle School, “or they need help <br />paying a bill; they’ve had a shutoff notice; they need help with clothing; lots of calls for help <br />with food.” <br />A similar meeting will be held Thursday for Zone 6, from 5 until 7 p.m. at Carrboro Elementary <br />School, at 400 Shelton St. The zone stretches from downtown Chapel Hill southwest to Highway <br />54, and has the highest number of the county’s children under 18 living in poverty – nearly 900. <br />Child care, a light dinner and interpreters will be available at both meetings. <br />
