DeSoto County school system cancels plans to move students around district

HERNANDO, Mississippi — DeSoto County school officials will not move students around the district this fall to deal with a growing enrollment.

With more than 30,000 students in more than 40 schools across the county, DeSoto County Schools is Mississippi's largest public district.

Crowding has been a constant problem for the district during DeSoto County's dramatic growth and led to major a building campaign that added several schools in recent years.

Schools Superintendent Milton Kuykendall says the district will use existing buildings to accommodate students.

District spokeswoman Katherine Nelson tells The Commercial Appeal (http://bit.ly/130jV2C) that more information would be offered as plans are finalized.
