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.

Jointly discussing the Forest Ridge High site

Today's joint meeting of the school board and county commissioners could get really interesting.

It's the last chance for the commissioners to officially meet with the outgoing school board members, whose terms expire at the end of the month. But the new school board members have also been invited to the joint meeting.

One of today's topics will be the Forest Ridge High School site. Both boards are expected to hear a report from a working group of county and school staff that have looked at alternative locations.

They're also expected to discuss the 2009-10 Facilities Utilization Report that was adopted by the school board on Tuesday.

The joint meeting is open to the public. It begins at 9 a.m. in the very cramped school board conference room at 3600 Wake Forest Road in Raleigh.

Webb's seat or let it sit unaccounted for until he recovers, hopefully in full, or his term expires?
