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? How will the new choice-based assignment system work now that the socioeconomic diversity policy has been eliminated? How will Superintendent Tony Tata lead the state's largest district through more budget cuts and possible layoffs? How will the 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.

Who are the morons (yes
Sat, 10/03/2009 - 22:57 — changewcpssWho are the morons (yes morons) that put that out? What a farce. When you have nothing positive to say about yourselves, you attack and lie about your opponents. Status quo is really grasping now. Resorting to dirty politics can only bring negative consequences. Poor taste by an uninformed organization. Boing Boing Boing all the way to the bottom for this loony group.
Only one "moron" Democratic
Sun, 10/04/2009 - 10:45 — woodstockOnly one "moron" Democratic pollster, Dean Debnam, owner of Public Policy Polling. He has done polling for his "internal use." It is rather obvious what the results were based on the desperate nature of the ad that only the most ill-informed and uneducated voter would ever believe.
If all the people who value education and want a quality education for all students in Wake County get out to vote on Tuesday, October, 6, the status quo will be history.

Bill Randall has lived in
Sat, 10/03/2009 - 14:57 — WhalerCaneBill Randall has lived in Wake County less than a year and has already run for State GOP Chair. He has no sense of history of what has happend here, and is not particualarly rational. He has all the answers and seems more interested in being recognized and followed than working with the community to find solutions.

Negative ads can backfire, ask Liddy Dole
Fri, 10/02/2009 - 19:00 — btwalshSensationalizing, polarizing, stereotyping. Voters will avoid candidates with negative ads. Check in with former US Senator Elizabeth Dole on that topic.
And the latest poll says?
Sat, 10/03/2009 - 23:22 — g88ky07many voters will now vote against the status quo candidates on Tuesday because they are sick and tired and fed up with people who think playing political games is acceptable in the education of our children!
????...but, the only
Fri, 10/02/2009 - 19:03 — woodstock????...but, the only candidates asking for more money, therefore increased property taxes, are Nixon, Simon and Rakestraw; and CMS schools have nothing to do with what the candidates for change are proposing. Politics is an alternate universe where facts, logic, and integrity have no value.
Odd Commercial Strategically
Fri, 10/02/2009 - 18:52 — chaboardIn low turnout races such as these, is it really smart to boost the name recognition of the candidates you DON'T suppport without even mentioning the ones you want the voter to select?
