Important Information about 6 Schools Changing to Traditional Calendar in 2018-19
Sept. 19, 2017
The Wake County Board of Education on Tuesday indicated its intention to change the following schools to traditional calendar schools starting in the 2018-19 school year:
- Carver, Lockhart, Rand Road and Vance elementary schools;
- East Wake Middle School and North Garner Middle School.
Final approval of this change is expected on Oct. 3.
Several factors led to this decision, including:
- There is higher demand for traditional calendar schools in this part of the county. More students request out of track 4 schools than into track 4 schools.
- Because there are relatively few Track 4 schools, they create many calendar mismatches with both traditional calendar and multi-track calendar schools.
