From staff reports

Parents of fewer than 30 percent of Wake County's students responded to a school district survey that could lead to schools changing calendars this fall.

School administrators said they had received 41,073 responses by today's noon deadline, with 40,615 submitted online and 458 from paper forms. This is out of the 140,000 potential surveys that could have been returned during the two-week period.

Administrators will review the data and present it to the school board on Feb. 2. Administrators have said they won't provide responses for an individual school unless its response rate was at least 33 percent.

Administrators said they also received 840 online comments from people who aren't parents of Wake students.

Following four public meetings in February, administrators will recommend which schools to convert at the March 2 school board meeting.
