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.

Rob Schofield questioning why Wake County school board member Debra Goldman is tweeting about Gov. Bev Perdue's poll numbers

Rob Schofield is wondering why Wake County school board member Debra Goldman is tweeting about Gov. Bev Perdue's poll numbers during a time when "Wake County schools are going through a momentous and controversial reassignment process."

In a blog post today for the liberal N.C. Policy Watch, Schofield writes that Goldman's tweet draws a "huh." He writes that "usually" tweets from politicians "have some plausible connection" to "their realm of responsibility.

"Is there something Goldman hasn’t told us?" Schofield writes. "Does she share (school board member John) Tedesco’s ambitions for higher office? is she gonna’ join us pontificating pundits as a regular blogosphere inhabitant?

But what the heck? Whatever the case, bring ‘em on Debra. We look forward to hearing what you have to say — at least with respect to the Wake County schools."
