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.
