Greener pastures?

Zebulon joins Wendell and Rolesville in approving a new policy the county will enforce.

Recapping today's meeting

Here's a quick recap of what happened. (I'll go into more detail tomorrow.)

Students protested the parking fee increase at the school board meeting.

Administrators went over the multi-year reassignment planning process.

Test results were shared with the board.

The board approved a new hunter education policy, the naming of Rolesville Middle School and taking $677,804 out of fund balance to keep teaching positions at year-round schools.

The board is now reviewing Supt. Del Burns' performance behind closed doors. An official announcement of the new terms is not expected until Sept. 2.

Naming Rolesville's new school

Does the school board owe it to Rolesvile to name a new middle school after the town?

As noted in today's North Raleigh News article, Rolesville town leaders have urged the school board to use "Rolesville MIddle School" for the site on Burlington Mills Road. County commissioners have credited Rolesville leaders with helping acquire the property.

"They need to work with us in the naming of schools," Eagles said in today's article. "It's the people's schools, not the school board's schools."
