Board adds nodes for consideration in 2011-12 reassignment plan

The Wake County school board expanded the potential scope of the 2011-12 student reassignment plan but still have a lot more to discuss.

As noted in today's article, the board agreed to add for consideration a number of moves not recommended for staff for next year. These are among a list of deferred moves that were brought up in the spring.

That includes the Middle Creek to Garner High moves advocated by board member John Tedesco. Board members took the approach that they'd rather send notice to parents they're considering the moves so as to get input over the next month.

UPDATE

Wake will send notices to parents if they're in the nodes added for consideration on Tuesday. But if you want to check now, click here to find out your node number to see if you're affected.

Rapid Reaction from Wakefield-Millbrook

By Nate Taylor – Staff Writer

WAKE FOREST – Here’s our rapid reaction after Wakefield defeated Millbrook 58-53 Tuesday night in a Cap Eight 4-A conference game.

Wake Forest-Rolesville 21, Wakefield 0

A Wake Forest-Rolesville linebacker studies the eyes of Wakefield quarterback Connor Mitch. The football hasn’t been snapped yet, and it’s here where Hunter Williams knows the sixth-ranked Cougars have already stopped the fifth-ranked Wolverines.

Williams could tell Mitch was looking at the defense, wondering which Cougar might bring him to the ground for a sack. Sometimes it was Williams. Other times it was the linebacker Eric Decker. In all, Mitch was sacked six times in the Cougars 21-0 win over the Wolverines on Friday night in the second round of the 4-AA playoffs. For Wakefield, this was the first time it had been shutout all season.
