WakeEd

The WakeEd blog is devoted to discussing and answering questions about the major issues facing the Wake County school system. How much will the new Democratic majority on the school board do to undo the changes made by Republicans since 2009? Will the new student assignment plan be a hybrid of the last two models or primarily be a return to the use of busing for diversity? Who will replace Tony Tata as the new superintendent of the state's largest district? How will voters react to a likely request in 2013 to borrow potentially more than $1 billion to build and renovate schools?

WakeEd is maintained by The News & Observer's Wake schools reporter, T. Keung Hui. While Keung posts information and analysis on the issues, keep us posted on your suggestions, questions, tips and what you're doing to cope with the changes in Wake's schools.

Bringing back the school board committees in January

Wake County school board committees are likely to come back soon.

Wake County school board chairman Kevin Hill said that the restoration of committees will be brought up at the Jan. 10 board meeting. He said the decision was made after consulting with board vice chairman Keith Sutton and Superintendent Tony Tata.

It was pretty clear that the new board majority was moving in this direction following the discussion at the Dec. 10 board retreat.

Next will come the potentially sticky issue of handing out committee chairs and assignments. Will Hill do what former board chairman Ron Margiotta did in 2010 by giving most of the committee assignments and chairs to members of the majority?
