RALEIGH -- The Wake County school board voted Tuesday to pay $2.47 million for land to build a new elementary school near northwest Raleigh.

The school board will pay $82.500 an acre for 29.96 acres on the northern side of Shooting Club Road and on the western side of Creedmoor Road. The opening date is uncertain and dependent upon funding, whether through a school construction bond issue or some other means.

The vote was 6-2 with Beverley Clark and Ron Margiotta in opposition.

The deal now goes to the county commissioners to see if they’ll approve the funding.
