It looks like Wake County teachers want to work in more affluent schools.

The most requested schools for teacher transfers are typically those in more affluent parts of the county. Wake schools with higher poverty levels tend to see far fewer requests from teachers to work there. (The requests are made by current teachers who want to work elsewhere in Wake.)

Excluding the new schools opening this summer, the five most requested schools this year are Davis Drive Middle, Holly Springs Elementary, Salem Middle, Brier Creek Elementary and Holly Ridge Elementary.

There will be a leadership change in a few months at Wake NCAE, the group which represents 5,000 Wake County school system employees.

Tama Bouncer, a music teacher at Swift Creek Elementary School, will become Wake NCAE president in July. She will take over for Jennifer Lanane, who couldn't serve again because of term limits.
