Sterling Ranch has been in the news for controversies regarding Zebulon and the conservative state-run charter school John Adams Academy. Lately, the developers of Sterling Ranch have proposed a sketchy change to its planned development agreement. If approved by the county commissioners, this amendment will not only hurt Sterling Ranch residents who relied on the promise of neighborhood schools but could set a precedent that would allow private developers (not the school district) to determine who receives public school land in Douglas County.
Project 2025 vibes.
Thank you to Sterling Ranch residents Lori Wright and Robyn DePan for breaking down this complex issue and telling us what we can do about it.
