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 to discuss school facilities utilization, superintendent search and board vacancy

Bookmark and Share

The Wake County school board will tackle today school facilities utilization and filling the vacancies for superintendent and the District 1 board seat.

During the work session, the board will discuss the superintendent search process with a vote scheduled at the regular meeting on hiring a search firm. Don't be surprised if the Republican board members complain about the process, similar to how Democrats didn't like the process in 2010.

Also during the work session, the board will discuss how it will go forward with filling the board vacancy. You could see the board adopting dates to hold the interviews with the applicants and to have the votes.

Also during the work session, staff will present the 2012-13 facilities utilization report. This report takes more significance this year considering that plans are in progress to have a bond issue on the ballot this fall.

Discuss school facilities utilization?

What, they're going to waste more time? Say it ain't so.

This board talks entirely too much. They enjoy hearing themselves talk obviously. They aren't concerned about that issue or they would get off their lazy a$$es and fill up every last available seat in the under capacity MYR schools.

But they have no intentions to do so or concerns about the problems it continues to cause.

Just ask the liars in the majority about it and here is what you'll hear,
