Also today, the school board is going ahead with starting East Wake High later and Wendell and Zebulon elementary schools earlier.
But the board held off on tier changes to Conn, Barwell Road, Fox Road, York, Joyner, Rand Road, Wildwood Forest and Sycamore Creek elementary schools. (A lot of folks didn't want to be moved off the second tier.)
The board decided not to change those eight schools because staff wants to form a committee that would review the tiers for every school in the district. This could lead to changes for the 2010-11 school year.

I can't imagine why.....
The third tier has got to be the most unfriendly daily schedule for elementary school children. Trying to fit their after-school activities, homework, dinner, family time, play-time with friends, bedtime snack, daily reading and baths in before bedtime is nigh on impossible.
Our old district double tracked their buses - elementary runs and then the combined middle and high school run (the schools sit next to each other). The elementary schools start at 7:45 AM and release at 2:30 PM.
You've got to be kidding me
