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? How will the new choice-based assignment system work now that the socioeconomic diversity policy has been eliminated? How will Superintendent Tony Tata lead the state's largest district through more budget cuts and possible layoffs? How will the board respond to growth and the school construction program?

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.

Filling Beverley Clark's board seat

Bookmark and Share

The process for filling Beverley Clark's seat on the school board isn't quite as clear cut.

Wake has posted information on its web site on what should be included in the applications before the Aug. 27 deadline. But the district won't officially seek applications until after Clark steps down Aug. 12.

The delayed resignation will allow Clark to participate this week in the vote to fill Rosa Gill's vacant seat.

The person who eventually takes Clark's seat will finish out her term, which expires November 2011. Clark's "Central Raleigh" Distict 6 includes North Hills and the Ridge Road area inside the Beltline.
