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.

Calling for education reform in Eastern Wake County

Bookmark and Share

Track My Steps is planning tonight to call for "education reform in Eastern Wake County."

In a media alert, Track My Steps says a community discussion will be held tonight about suspensions, graduation rates, academic achievement and resources. Organizers say there's a need to act because Eastern Wake has the highest suspensions in Wake County and the seconded lowest graduation rate.

Track My Steps said a plan of action will be introduced to change the perception of education in Eastern Wake.

The forum will run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at East Regional Library, 946 Steeple Square Court in Knightdale.
