Raleigh Residential Real Estate –News for the Raleigh, North Carolina Schools – Wake County picks 23 of 30 recommended elementary schools to go year-round calendar

The Raleigh Area of North Carolina is growing rapidly and with that growth there are challenges to the area school systems. Wake County is projected have 7,000 more students this fall than last year and over the next five years the projections call for a total of 40,000 additional students.

As I wrote in a blog several days ago, one approach to address this issue of rapid growth was to make a number of elementary schools follow a year round schedule. The Wake County School system staff has developed a list of 30 elementary schools to be considered for year round schedules. By instituting a year round schedule more students can be accommodated in any one school building.

Yesterday the Wake County Schools board narrowed the list to 23. The public now has a comment period until August 28 when a public hearing will be held at the Southeast Raleigh High School. You can see the list of schools that are being considered and read more about the plan on the Wake County Public School system website:  23 Wake County NC Schools
