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.

The Wake County school system is losing one of its principals to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school system.

In a press release today, Chapel Hill-Carrboro announced that Lewis "Drew" Ware has been named the new principal of Estes Hill Elementary School. Ware has been principal of Root Elementary School in Raleigh since 2009.

In the press release, Chapel Hill-Carrboro Superintendent Thomas Forcella noted that Root is a STEM school. Forcella said Ware's experience with STEM "will be a great benefit, for not only the school, but the entire district."

As is standard in principal contracts, Ware can't leave immediately. He'll start his new job in March.

Lewis "Drew" Ware

Chapel Hill-Carrboro's unfortunate acquisition of Lewis "Drew" Ware is a blessing for Aldert Root Elementary School parents and students. Mr. Ware is nothing but bad news for any school.
