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.

Debra Goldman back at Raleigh Christmas Parade

You can look for Wake County school board vice chairwoman Debra Goldman to be back out at the Raleigh Christmas Parade on Saturday.

Goldman marches annually along with Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison. She's a volunteer with Harrison's Citizens' Well-Check Program, which allows seniors who are living alone to register and be contacted 365 days a year by phone.

Goldman was part of a minor stir last year when she was banned from wearing her Mrs. Santa Claus outfit. The Greater Raleigh Merchants Association is once again banning anyone but the parade's official Santa from donning the red suit.

T. Keung, you're slipping.  You forgot to mention Debra is a "REPUBLICAN" and her campaign received $$$ from ART POPE.   Orage won't like that!  

It doesn't have quite the same evil forboding impact when I say it .... :>)

If you see Rob around the water cooler, ask when we can expect his first hit piece on Renee Ellmers.
