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.

New principals have been named tonight for Dillard Drive and Carnage middle schools.

Bryant replaces Teresa Abron, who is retiring. School officials say there’s no connection between her retirement and the December 2007 incident in which Dillard was faulted by federal civil rights officials for holding segregated assemblies for black and Hispanic students after a fight.

David Schwenker will become principal of Carnage Middle in Raleigh, receiving a salary of $93,320. He has been principal of Hunter Elementary School since 2001.

Mr. Schwenker is the type of administrator EVERY school should have. OPen door policy, friendly, uses common sense and treats everyone with respect!!!! Something EVERYONE should strive for. Carnage is very fortunate in getting an administrator like him.

"Carnage"??

Are you serious?  Who would name a school that?  Heck, that could describe the entire Wake County system!  Sorry, couldn't resist!

As for this, "School officials say there’s no connection between her retirement and the December 2007 incident"

Right!

Don't judge a school by its name.

Carnage was an excellent middle school under the direction of Mr. King.  That Fogg woman replaced Mr. King upon his retirment during my son's 8th grade year.  The atmosphere of Carnage MS changed drastically.  She holed up in her office, did not interact with the students and lost many excellent teachers mid-year and many didn't return the following year due to her condescending, demeaning manner.

Mr. David Schwenker will bring a refreshing albiet different personality to Carnage.  He is open, friendly and interacts with the students.  Good riddance to Delores Umbridge.... oops I mean Dr. Delores Fogg (say that with an aire of superiority) and Welcome Mr. Schwenker!
