The concept of going to school in the town you live in was repeated over and over again at Wednesday's public hearing at Fuquay-Varina High.

As noted in today's article, several speakers from Fuquay-Varina, Holly Springs and Willow Spring argued their children shouldn't be reassigned to schools outside their town.

"It makes sense to keep students at their community school," said Donald Kanning, whose Holly Springs subdivision could be reassigned to the new Herbert Akins Road Elementary in Fuquay-Varina.
