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.

Look for some media coverage today of the Wake County school system's use of the mCLASS:Reading 3D assessment system.

Several state legislators, including former Wake County school board chairwoman Rosa Gill, are scheduled to see a demonstration today of how mClass:Reading 3D is used in a first-grade class at Timber Drive Elementary School in Garner.

All elementary schools in the state will use mClass as a reading diagnostic system in the 2013-14 school year as part of the Excellent Public Schools Act. Wake currently has 15 schools using the software program.

The goal is to help young students improve their literacy skills.
