Public hearings set for Wake student assignment proposal
The Wake County Board of Education will hold three public hearings over the next two weeks on a proposal that would reassign less than 1,500 students for the 2013-14 school year.

About three dozen schools face enrollment caps, which could force children to schools further away from home. A grandfather provision in the proposal could further reduce the number of reassignments.
The first meeting is scheduled from 6:30 p.m. until 9 p.m. Wednesday at Sanderson High School, 5500 Dixon Drive, Raleigh.
Meetings are also scheduled for the same time at Davis Drive Middle School, 2101 Davis Drive, Cary, on Dec. 3 and at Rolesville Middle School, 4700 Burlington Mills Road, Rolesville, on Dec. 5.
The school board is expected to vote on the 2013-14 assignment plan on Dec. 11.
It will only be used until a permanent plan is created for the 2014-15 school year.
In June, the school board voted in favor of changing the district's current three-year plan, which is less than a year old, in an effort to improve upon it.
Under a board directive, school system staff developed the proposed plan so that it combines elements of the current "controlled-choice plan," in which parents have more input into where their children go to school, and a neighborhood model that links each Wake County address with a base elementary, middle and high school.
