The Wake County school board will meet this afternoon to talk about the magnet school review.

There's a level of tension, both on and off the board, about what the future of the magnet program will be under the new choice plan. There's also debate about what role the themed academies, from the additional STEM schools to the new single-sex leadership academies, will have going forward.

Those issues were highlighted during last week's discussion of the draft strategic plan.
