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.

David Parker calls election results "a comeback for our schools"

State Democratic Party Chairman David Parker is cheering tonight's Wake County school board election results.

"Congratulations to Susan Evans for defeating Tea Party ringleader Ron Margiotta," Parker said in a press release tonight. "I have no doubt that Susan will work hard to restore the confidence, trust and integrity lost under Margiotta’s failed leadership. Ron Margiotta’s days of making Wake County Schools the butt of national jokes is now over.”

Parker also praised the Wake County Democratic Party's efforts.

"I want to congratulate all of our fantastic candidates as well as all of the dedicated volunteers and staff who worked long hours to make this happen," Parker said. "I would also like to send a special thank you to Mack Paul, Chairman of the Wake County Democratic Party. Without Mack’s hard work and commitment, this comeback for our schools would not be possible. Mack's dedication to the future of Wake County is beyond question.”
