Both Panther Creek and Green Hope are over capacity? Maybe it's time to stop expanding Cary west of NC-55. Cary has even grown into Chatham county.

Where is Garner's capacity? A building meant to house 1600 expecting more than 2200!!! Is that rumor or fact?

This is ridiculous since Panther Creek gets a large number of students that were originally moved FROM Cary High School.

I am sure that WCPSS will cry for more money. It isn't a capacity problem, it is a management problem. They have assigned the kids to the wrong schools!
