Here's a bit more discussion on how the Lost Colony deal came to an end at Tuesday's committee of the whole meeting.

Heading into the meeting, it looked like some school board members were all set to continue the relationship with Granville County schools to pay the $1,443 per student tuition for the Lost Colony students.

But things changed when the school board found out that bus service was already being provided to the Lost Colony area. This means service wouldn't have to be added if Wake kept the 51 students now going to Granville.

What should the school board do with the "Lost Colony" students who live in northern Wake near Granville County?

As noted in today's piece by Ruth Sheehan, the Wake school board will weigh whether to continue paying tuition to send those students to school in Granville County. It's a decision that could cost Wake around $70,000 a year.

Due to their proximity to Granville, Wake has paid tuition for these kids to go there for school since 1931.
