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.

Chris Malone saying he worked to bring "equitable treatment to Eastern Wake County"

Wake County school board member Chris Malone is touting what he's done for Eastern Wake in his bid to win the state House 35 seat.

One of the school board accomplishments that Malone points to on his campaign website is the nixing of the Forest Ridge High School site in Raleigh in favor of Rolesville High. While hotly debated at the time, Rolesville High is set to open in August 2013.

"Mr. Malone was elected in 2009 to the Wake County School Board, where he has been working to bring Community Schools and sorely needed programs and equitable treatment to Eastern Wake County," says Malone's website. "Amongst his efforts that were brought to pass were the Student Assignment program, the moving of a high school from Raleigh to Rolesville, and the opening of two STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) schools."

needs to talk to Debra Goldman. She says she did all those things he is taking credit for.

He should stay where he's at

From what I hear, he wasn't ahead of the curve on the Rolesville school either.  I'm glad Malone's being a conservative voice on the School Board, but frankly that's where he needs to stay...  I don't like him giving conservatives a bad name by just being opportunistic when a better opportunity comes along...
