Wilson board approves districtwide shift to pre-K–5 elementary schools
Summary
The Wilson School District board approved a districtwide school configuration to make all elementary schools pre-K through fifth grade, noting the change is the culmination of a long-term plan and leverages pre-K counts and grants.
The Wilson School District Board of School Directors voted 8–0 on June 8 to approve a districtwide elementary configuration that designates all elementary schools as pre-K through fifth grade.
The motion was moved by Mrs. Cocker and seconded by Mr. Schneider. In discussion, Mrs. Denny described the approval as the fulfillment of a long-term district plan to expand pre-K access, crediting staff work and grant-funded pre-K counts that make placement of pre-K classrooms in elementary buildings possible.
Board members framed the change as part of broader transition planning—including building transitions tied to Lincoln Park’s opening and earlier committee work on pre-K counts. The vote was unanimous.
What happens next: the district will proceed with building-level transitions and planning already underway. Board members noted additional communications and implementation steps will be posted on the district website and shared with families.
