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 school board has agreed this morning to largely keep the Lacy Elementary moves intact in the plan.
The only change is to drop the reassignment of Node 106 from Lacy to Root Elementary. Depending on the numbers you use, there's either one kid or 23 kids in that node.
All the other Lacy nodes are going to Root. All three Lacy nodes are going to Stough.
It looks like, for now at least, the Stough parents have won the fight.
UPDATE
Corrected typo.

Sorry--three to Stough

"Both" nodes?
Fri, 01/23/2009 - 11:23 — EqualtreatmentLacy was slated to send three nodes. A typo or a change in plan?
Typo. All three nodes still
