Who makes the most money in the Wake County school system?

That's one of the questions that the Charlotte Observe looked at as part of a Sunday article on six-figures salaries in Wake and Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. Wake had 99 employees making at least $100,000 with 60 of them being principals.

This compares to 103 Wake employees with six-figure salaries in 2010, 112 in 2009 and 99 in 2008.

Wake County school administrators are going to take extra steps to notify the Garner High families who were reassigned at the last minute this year to Southeast Raleigh High.

This extra heads up emerged during Tuesday's committee of the whole discussion about student transfer requests. Board vice chairwoman Debra Goldman, who backed the reassignment of the Garner High students, acknowledged that the students didn't get "a lot of notice," which drew snorts from the crowd.

Goldman asked if there was any way the district could provide those families with transportation considering they might not have cars. You typically lose bus service if your transfer request is approved.
