School administrators are still weighing whether to recommend delaying the opening of two new elementary schools.

Chuck Dulaney, assistant superintendent for growth and planning, told school board members on Tuesday that Herbert Akins Road Elementary in Fuquay-Varina and Alston Road Elementary in Cary might open in 2010 instead of 2009.

It all depends on whether both schools are needed more for middle school students as part of the multi-year assignment plan.
