WILMINGTON—Wednesday marked the deadline for the state to receive a letter about New Hanover County's redistricting plan.

On Monday the school board signed a letter of assurance to the instruction department stating its middle school redistricting plan does not segregate schools. Nearly $800,000 in state funding is at risk if segregation is found there. Some board members said the findings were based on projected growth.

School board members were split four to three on the vote to sign the letter, the same split as the vote for the middle school redistricting maps last school year.
