Year-round rumors

In the interest of rumor control, there are no plans right now to convert any Wake elementary school to a year-round calendar for 2006. That's at least what Wake school administrators are telling parents who are hearing scuttlebutt about year-round conversion.

The rumors were flying Monday evening at a public meeting at Wake Forest-Rolesville High School. Ramey Beavers, senior director for growth management, tried to defuse questions from a pack of parents that Wake Forest Elementary School would go year-round.

Parents can continue to ask questions at meetings being held around the county through next week. These meetings will begin at 7 p.m.:

Tonight at Knightdale High
