Why is the bond important?
CategoriesDepartment |
A: The new building program, mainly financed through the November 2006 bond, will provide classrooms for thousands of additional children moving into Wake County by 2010. The Wake County Public School System is expected to gain 7,000 new students in 2006-07. This is more than every man, woman and child in the Town of Knightdale. Estimates show WCPSS gaining 40,000 students by the year 2010, bringing total enrollment to more than 160,000. In addition, WCPSS's older schools need renovation to ensure they are quality places for children to learn.
