BEDFORD CO. (WSLS 10) - Bedford County parents will find out next week where students will go after the school board approved a redistricting plan. 

This comes as the board decided earlier this year to close down Thaxton Elementary Schools. The plan divides the Thaxton District between the Bedford and Montvale Districts and will be effective in the fall.
