This may be a case of wishful thinking, but Lisa Boneham is confidently predicting victory in the Leesville year-round calendar fight.

You'd expect the school board will discuss the conversion of Leesville Road Middle School to a year-round calendar at Thursday's reassignment work session. In a press release sent today, Boneham thinks the board will put Leesville Road Elementary back on a traditional calendar and not convert the middle school.

Here's the press release sent by Concerned and Committed Leesville Parents:

Do you think you can do a better job of naming schools than the school system?

On Thursday, the school board is scheduled to name E21, the new elementary school in Southeast Raleigh. The board will also hear suggestions for naming H6, the new high school in northeastern Wake.

There are some rules to consider.

It could be a tough next two days ahead for high school students.

As noted in today's article, the cancellation of school for the past two days will mean rescheduling final exams for Wake's 39,000 high school students. The option that schools could use to solve the problem won't be a pretty one for students.

The option being considered by many high schools, assuming school resumes tomorrow, is to have Tuesday's exams on Thursday.

So how many students will show up on school this Saturday?

In the old days when most year-round students were in by application, it would usually be around 75 to 80 percent of the kids. But it's unknown how many will show up now that most year-round students are base kids, especially at the converted schools.

This Saturday marks the first time that the converted schools have had a snow day.

Wake is closing school on Wednesday "due to anticipated hazardous road conditions."

Traditional-calendar students will lose April 6, the first day of spring break.

Year-round students will have class on April 4, another Saturday.

Modified-calendar students will have class on March 10.

Wake Early College students will go to school on May 26.

As expected, Wake announced that traditional-calendar students will make up today on Feb. 16, President's Day.

Year-round students will go to school this Saturday.

Modified-calendar students will go to class on March 9, a Monday that would have marked the start of spring break.

Wake Early College students will go to school on April 9.

Now we wait for word on Wednesday.

"We are closely monitoring weather conditions and will make a decision about Wednesday's schedule as soon as it is prudent," according to Wake's press release.

Today's school board meeting has now been cancelled, leading to some practical consequences on the reassignment plan.

Today's meeting will now be held at 3 p.m on Thursday, the same day as the student reassignment work session. The board will start the work session at  9 a.m. before transitioning to the regular meeting.

Due to the rescheduling, Thursday's activities will now be back at the main  admin building on Wake Forest Road in Raleigh instead of the Crossroads II building in Cary.

Based on how treacherous things could be tomorrow morning, it's safe to think about what will happen if school is closed again on Wednesday.

A second day of no classes would mean traditonal-calendar students would go to class on April 6, the first day of spring break. Depending on people's vacation plans, classes might be empty that day.

Year-round students would face a second Saturday morning in schools. Classes on Saturdays are only for a half day.

Modified-calendar students could lose a second day of spring break in March.

Stay tuned to see whether Wake thinks it's safe enough to open on a delay tomorrow. Based on the freezing temps tonight, it would be unlikely that schools would be on a regular schedule if classes resumed tomorrow. 

It seems the school board was in the mood to cancel meetings this week.

This afternoon's committee of the whole meeting has been cancelled. The same goes for tomorrow's joint meeting with the county commissioners.

(Both meetings were cancelled before there was even a strong possibility of snow.)

Your kids can sleep in tomorrow morning.

Wake County schools will be closed on Tuesday.

Updates on when Tuesday will be made up will be posted as soon as possible. Something will likely be mentioned during Tuesday's school board meeting.

For now, traditional-calendar schools should make it up on Feb. 16. Year-round schools will make it up on a Saturday. Modified-calendar schools will likely lose a day of spring break in March.
