The Cabarrus County Schools Board of Education on Monday approved a limited enrollment cap for a portion of the W.R. Odell attendance area, a step district leaders say is necessary as overcrowding at both W.R. Odell Primary and W.R. Odell Elementary continues to worsen and is expected to intensify in the coming years.
