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.

Common Sense Matters says "stand up to Heather Losurdo and the Tea Party agenda"

Bookmark and Share

Common Sense Matters asks voters to "stand up to (Wake County school board candidate) Heather Losurdo and the Tea Party agenda" in this campaign mailer sent last week.

The mailer says "On November 8, stop the Tea Party takeover by stopping Heather Losurdo." The mailer accuses Losurdo of being "backed by Tea party radicals" and charges that "the Board's right-wing agenda has been devastating."

"Hoe much more damage will the Tea Party do to our schools if Heather Losurdo wins on November 8?" says the mailer, which is part of the strategy promoted by Democratic activist Dean Debnam to use an anti-Tea Party message to defeat Republican candidates

The mailer is one in a series sent by Common Sense Matters, which is affiliated with local Democrats. One of the donors is the N.C. Futures Action Fund, a group led by Debnam.
