WAKE COUNTY, N.C. -- The Wake County School Board passed a plan for the K-3 class size mandate at their meeting Tuesday night.
It is no longer required for the 2018-2019 school year, but will be required in the 2021-2022 school year and it reduces class size from 20 students to 17 students.
Immediate options include:
- Faculty modifications

In the long term, to meet the new requirements, schools may consider:
- Temporary classrooms (mobile units)
- Capping
- Redistricting
- Track conversions
- Adding new schools
