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.
I apologize for not having posted this sooner but Wake County Superintendent Tony Tata will meet Thursday night with parents of special-education students.
The meet-and-greet with Tata will take place from 6-8 p.m. at Marbles Kids Museum, 201 E. Hargett Street in downtown Raleigh. No RSVP is necessary and refreshments will be served.
The event is sponsored by the Arc of Wake County, the Triangle Down Syndrome Network and the Wake County Autism Society.

Glad to know that he meeting with the parents of special education.
