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.

After some negotiating over dates and locations, three public hearings were set today for the 2013-14 Wake County student assignment plan.

The hearings will be Nov. 28 at Sanderson High School, Dec. 3 at Davis Drive Middle School and Dec. 5 at Rolesville Middle School. All meetings would start at 6:30 p.m.

Staff explained that it was difficult at this late date finding open dates at the schools when their auditoriums aren't in use. Nov. 29 was proposed as a possible date but was rejected because the school board has a due process hearing that day.

Staff's goal was to have a hearing in the northeast region, the central region and the western region.
