Aug. 17, 2006 - Year Round Schools Finalized

Wake County Narrows Year Round List Down To 23 Schools
According to Wake County school officials, the schools system has made a tentative list of 23 schools that the staff recommended be converted to year-round schools.  The list of 23 schools was narrowed down from a list of 30 that was released as being potentially on the final list.

The Wake County Public School System staff presented the list to members of the Board of Education at its Committee of the Whole meeting yesterday afternoon.

The list of schools recommended included:

Ballentine Elementary
Baucom Elementary
Brassfield Elementary
Carver Elementary
Cedar Fork Elementary
Combs Elementary
Green Hope Elementary
Harris Creek Elementary
Highcroft Elementary
Hodge Road Elementary
Holly Springs Elementary
Knightdale Elementary
Leesville Elementary
Lockhart Elementary
Middle Creek Elementary
Olive Chapel Elementary
Pleasant Union Elementary
Rand Road Elementary
Salem Elementary
Vance Elementary
Wakefield Elementary
Wakelon Elementary
Willow Springs Elementary

The school system says that Assistant Superintendent Chuck Dulaney presented the board the list of schools that met the criteria approved by the Board of Education last month for conversion to year-round schools.

In an effort to provide classrooms for the thousands of additional students moving into Wake County, the Board of Education directed staff to create a plan that would transition enough schools to the year-round calendar to gain an additional 3,000 elementary school seats.

The Board of Education says it will continue to discuss the transition of some elementary schools to the year-round calendar. Board members will meet with the Facility Committee next week to review the school system proposal.

The school board will hold a public hearing at 6:30pm on August 28th at Southeast Raleigh High School at 2600 Rock Quarry Road in Raleigh.
