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.

The Wake County school board majority has finally wrapped up changes to the 2010-11 reassignment plan.

The board approved tonight nearly all the changes recommended last week, including the Lacy to Stough moves and the reassignment of Garner High kids to Southeast Raleigh HIgh. Both moves were approved 5-4.

The one exception was that the board dropped the assignment of nodes 383.3 and 384.4 to Apex Middle School. School board vice chairwoman Debra Goldman   yanked them after school board chairman Ron Margiotta said they should restrict themselves to moves that were either in the three-year plan or are meant to address crowding.

Consider this your homework before Wednesday's 6 p.m. Wake County school board work session on student reassignment.

Wood Valley residents will be able to apply to Leesville Road Middle School as their year-round calendar option, not Durant Road Middle School.

It's part of a redrawing of the application lines for Durant Road and Heritage middle schools. It will shift the areas around Wood Valley to Leesville while Heritage's draw area shrinks in favor of Durant Road.

Whether or not this makes up for being reassigned out of Leesville remains to be seen. Credit does go to school board member Patti Head for pushing for this change.
