WakeEd
The WakeEd blog is devoted to discussing and answering questions about the major issues facing the Wake County school system as it prepares to undergo historic changes. Will the new school board scrap the diversity policy in favor of neighborhood schools? Will year-round schools be converted back to a traditional calendar? How will the new board respond to growth and the school construction program?
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.
Voting for Carolyn Morrison to join the Wake school board
Submitted by KeungHui on 09/14/2009 - 10:00
It was an interesting coalition of school board members who helped put Carolyn Morrison on the board last week.
In the 4-3 final vote, Morrison got support from Patti Head, Ron Margiotta, Keith Sutton and Horace Tart. Christine Kushner, an active PTA member and chairwoman of the District 4 Board Advisory Council, got votes from Eleanor Goettee, Anne McLaurin and Lori Millberg.
Since there was no tie, board chairman Kevin Hill didn't vote.
Morrison, a retired Wake principal, became the third longtime former district educator to join the board. This includes Hill and Goettee.
I'm not counting Tart, who was a Wake teacher for five years before going into the private sector.
Morrison will be sworn in on Tuesday at 3 p.m. There will be a recess and a brief reception before the regular meeting starts at 3:30 p.m.
