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.

Latest Enloe assault

Bookmark and Share

An Enloe High School assistant principal was mugged on campus this morning before classes started.

Click here for the latest incident, which comes three days after Enloe's PTSA had a meeting on school safety. It's the latest in a recent series of assaults and robberies that have plagued Enloe, leading to extra police and school security.

Raleigh police say they'll beef up patrols even more after today's incident. They say they'll increase patrols of the area both before and after school.

The timing isn't great with the magnet application period a little more than three weeks away. Whether these incidents have any impact remains to be seen.

I hope the assistant

I hope the assistant principal is not hurt and that she did not lose anything sentimental.  Credit cards and Licenses can be replaced memories and your sense of security cannot.
