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.

Wake County school board member Chris Malone is breaking his silence about the recent N&O stories on the 2010 incident involving him and fellow board member Debra Goldman.

In an interview today,  Malone said his attorneys advised him not to comment on the N&O story or details of the police report where he was implicated by Goldman as a burglary suspect and they gave conflicting statements about whether they had a romantic relationship. But Malone reaffirmed his intent to run and win the election for the state House 35 seat.

"There's no reason to drop out. I've already moved past it," Malone said. "I have faith that my constituents know who I am and why I'm running, so I'm just going to keep campaigning."

Goldman still has not returned calls requesting comment on the issue.
