Recapping the joint meeting

I'll go into more detail later, but here's a quick recap of today's joint meeting.

The working group of county, school, Rolesville, Raleigh and DOT staff have identified four alternative sites to Forest Ridge High. They are:

• A property near Ligon Mill and Taylors Ridge roads in Raleigh
• A parcel near Louisbury and Mitchell Mill roads in Raeigh
• A property suggested by Rolesville Mayor Frank Eagles on Lousbury Road near U.S. 401 in Rolesville.
* A property on Catlett Farm and Rolesville roads in Rolesville

They'll report back in a month with cost comparisons of the sites to Forest  Ridge High.

In the meantime, money is still being spent on Forest Ridge High despite the request of the new board majority. New board members John Tedesco, Debra Goldman and Chris Malone attended the joint meeting.

Both boards also discussed the enrollment projections and the capacity report.

Outgoing board members repeatedly touted how opening new schools on year-round and the conversions have given Wake the capacity it needs to deal with the lack of money for new school construction.
