The WCPSS will issue letters asking parents for consent to have their children attend year-round schools. The administration will make their recommendations for traditional calendar schools for those who require a seat to the BoE at their April 22 meeting. Then, the consent letters are to be sent by mail. While many are struggling with the forced conversions of schools to the year round calendar, there are still many other families who applied for year-round calendar seats this spring that were denied. The decision made by the Wake County Board of Education not to evaluate the need for each calendar will again make their responsibility to manage class sizes and school enrollments very difficult and will continue to waste valuable taxpayer dollars. No opinion from the NC Court of Appeals has been released as of yet. Families in Wake County are guaranteed the right to a traditional calendar seat.
