The Wake County Board of Education on Tuesday discussed school calendars for the 2020-21 school year based on new legislation approved by lawmakers in late April. Watch the discussion.

They are expected to vote on the calendars on June 2. 

Apart from year-round calendars, these proposed calendars would be similar to those previously approved by the school board, including the same Winter and Spring breaks. Calendars had to be adjusted to include the five days of remote learning mandated by recent state law. 

We will notify you again when calendars have been officially approved by the board.

We invite you to share feedback and questions about the proposed calendars in the thread that applies to you and your child. 

To keep up with projected growth in some parts of the county and prevent the overcrowding of schools, we’re opening three new schools:

• Apex Friendship Elementary, 801 Humie Olive Road, Apex, opening in August 2022
• Barton Pond Elementary, 12004 Strickland Road, Raleigh, opening August 2022
• Herbert Akins Road Middle, 2255 Herbert Akins Road, Fuquay-Varina, opening July 2022

Other parts of the proposal are aimed at relieving some overcrowded schools, increasing the base attendance areas at under-utilized schools, and improving transportation efficiency. 

Some students affected by this proposal will be able to submit a stability transfer and remain at their current school. Review the stability rules.
