More details to come later but there's now a proposal on the table to collapse 14 multi-track Wake County year-round schools to a single track.

Superintendent Tony Tata proposed today giving flexibility to principals at under-enrolled year-round schools the flexibility to go to a single track for the 2011-12 school year. He said the principals would pick the track.

The schools identified by Tata are those that are at under 100 percent of what would be their single-track capacity: Alston Ridge, Ballentine, Banks Road, East Garner, Harris Creek, Highcroft, Lake Myra, Rand Road, River Bend, Timber Drive, Wakefield and West Lake elementary schools; and East Cary and Holly Grove middle schools.

UPDATE

Tata says he'll come back in May with a specific list of schools to recommend. While he didn't specify a number, it will likely not be all of the 14 year-round schools that are below 100 percent of single-track capacity.

You've got allegations of gender discrimination and retaliation in the form  of a denied transfer request in a new federal lawsuit that was filed Tuesday.

Holly C. Atkins alleges that the school system paid her less than male employees doing the same work as fiscal administrators. She claims that Growth and Planning and the school board rejected her request for her son to stay at Harris Creek Elementary School in retaliation for her complaints.

Atkins had filed a complaint with the EEOC  that has since been dismissed. She's also quit her job with the district.

It looks like the school board has agreed to make at least one more change to the reassignment plan.

During today's work session, Kevin Hill, the board vice chairman, asked that they not move nodes 233.4 and 233.5 from Fox Road Elementary to Wakefield Elementary.

None of the board members objected. But rather than voting during the work session, Rosa Gill, the board chairwoman, said they might as well do it this afternoon during the vote on the full plan.

The Lacy parents contend that not moving the kids to Stough will leave both schools with a gap of only six percentage points when it comes to the percentage of low-income students.

The Lacy parents then point to other schools, such as Harris Creek and Fox Road elementary schools where the gap is nearly 30 percentage points.

The Lacy parents say the school board either needs to drop the moves to Stough or balance all the schools which have a higher variance in the LI percentages.
