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.

Changing the reassignment date

Bookmark and Share

It looks like your kids can go trick-or-treating without having the specter of reassignment hanging over them.

School officials are now saying that early November is the target date to release the draft multi-year assignment plan for public comment. Previously, they had been saying that late October was the target date.

While the specific date isn't being mentioned by the district, David Williams said at last week's education roundtable that Nov. 7 was the release day. He's got credibility as he's one of the members of the student assignment advisory committee.

More discussion on the timetable is expected on Tuesday as the school board reviews converting schools back to a traditional calendar and the status of magnet programs at middle schools and high schools.

Stick it in the WHO CARES category.  Doesn't matter WHEN it comes out, it will change 14 times before it ever transpires and with the economy collapsing, the CC's putting a halt on construction projects, and others, bonds that WILL NEVER be approved by voters with our retirement accounts, investments & banks imploding and OF COURSE liars syndrome from Rosa and the liars, it does not matter when they shove their 3 year plan in our faces.
