Wake County school board members will be out and about at different community events this evening.
The most media attention will likely be placed on the forum that board vice chairwoman Debra Goldman will hold at Cary Town Hall at 6:30 p.m. to hear residents talk about student assignment. Board member Deborah Prickett, who got into a heated exchange with Goldman last week, said she'll also attend.
There's word that board chairman Ron Margiotta may also be in the audience to hear Goldman tonight.
Board members Carolyn Morrison and Anne McLaurin will meet with parents at 6:30 p.m. at Daniels Middle School to talk about student assignment.
Board member Keith Sutton will likely talk about student assignment at a PTSA meeting at 7 p.m. at Enloe High School.
Board members Chris Malone and John Tedesco will be hosting a reception for Republican state House candidate Duane Cutlip at 6 p.m. at Heather Hills Clubhouse in Garner.

Accusations of partisanship
Tue, 10/12/2010 - 20:33 — red_balloonAccusations of partisanship are silly. People have values and beliefs and they act in acccordance with those. It isn't a costume one wears when convenient. It isn't just the BOE members who indulge in this. Dr. Burns, with his social justice agenda and political endorsement, is no different. I don't see it as wrong. Better to have it out in the open than labor under the pretense of non-partisanship.
One could say that until the
Tue, 10/12/2010 - 20:53 — Andrew95One could say that until the board member not only goes to, but SPEAKS at a tea party rally. Comeon now, you'd have to be pretty under-a-rock to not see a total partisan break in the board.

Not Surprised
Tue, 10/12/2010 - 17:42 — jgegbgmgLooks like Malone & Tedesco have more important things on their minds then the Wake County Schools - Attending/hosting a function like this instead of working with other board members and attending board functions tonight shows they don't really care about the schools and children - I believe this also shows that these two grown men are pouting because things didn't go their way last week - Wonder who is next for Tedesco to start calling names (shows his true character). Also appears that goo goo eyes Malone follows Tedesco's foot steps whereever he goes. What a pair !!!!!!!
Pfft...
Tue, 10/12/2010 - 20:06 — Bob_SconceThere are no board functions tonight. As to "working with other board members," are board members supposed to spend every waking hour on board matters? Good grief.
?
Tue, 10/12/2010 - 16:08 — Bob_SconceBoard members are elected in non-partisan races. But, that doesn't mean that individual board members are neutral. Heck, Rosa Gill was a former chairwoman of the local Democratic Party. And, Anne McLaurin has been at various Democratic party events.
