Students Dropped From, Added To Wake Reassignment Plan

WAKE COUNTY, N.C. — Hundreds of students have been dropped from Wake County's school reassignment plan.

After listening to ideas and comments from parents at a public hearing last month, the board decided to remove 670 students from the plan. The moves dropped from the plan include:

Cary High to Athens Drive High

East Wake High to Garner High

Some from Wakefield High to Wake Forest-Rolesville High

Some from Broughton High to Leesville Road High

Leesville High to Sanderson High

Apex Middle to Dillard Drive Middle

Some from Daniels Middle to Leesville Road Middle

Davis Drive Middle to East Cary Middle

East Millbrook Middle to Carroll Middle

Holly Springs Elementary to Lincoln Heights Elementary

Willow Springs Elementary to Ballentine Elementary

Stough Elementary to Leesville Road

Board members also decided to move 260 students to different schools, which requires another public hearing. Those moves include:

Garner High students going to Middle Creek High instead of Athens Drive High

Some Martin Middle students going to Leesville Road Middle instead of Daniels

Apex Elementary students going to Swift Creek Elementary instead of Dillard Drive

Lead Mine Elementary students going to Brassfield Elementary instead of Pleasant Union

That hearing will take place during the board's next meeting on March 19. It starts at 6:30 p.m. at the school administration building.

A final vote is expected following the hearing.
