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.

The future of the Wake County school board's economically disadvantaged student performance task force will be up for discussion today.

The task force has been placed under the board's student achievement committee. The move had been opposed by task force chairman John Tedesco but approved by the new board majority.

The task force will discuss today the work accomplished, the work to be done, the role of sub-committees, interaction with other institutional committees, pros and cons of the task force format, relationship to the Board and the Student Achievement Committee and next steps.

Today's meeting will run from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Banks Road Elementary School, 100225 Chambers Road in Raleigh.
