NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) - New Hanover County School Board leaders are talking about a plan to deal with overcrowding at Wrightsville Beach Elementary School at a meeting Tuesday night.

One plan under consideration would reassign students within the Airlie Road area from Wrightsville to Bradley Creek Elementary School and place mobile classroom units at Bradley Creek.

Wrightsville Beach Elementary has 348 students although the building is only supposed to hold 130.

In September 2012, the Board of Education approved spending money to install mobile classroom units at Wrightsville Beach Elementary. The students who will occupy the mobile units are currently being taught at Wrightsville Beach Baptist Church. They can only stay at the church for one year, due to Wrightsville Beach town code.
