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 system posting first transfer period application results

Wake County families can now go online to find out if their first transfer period application was approved.

Click here for the link to access your results. You can't appeal a rejection but you are put on the wait list for your first-choice school.

The first transfer period, an attempt to keep parts of the now-discarded choice plan, allowed parents to request any non-magnet school in the county. Some people were applying for their calendar-option school, or to their base school, or for the feeder school from the choice plan.

The only transfer requests that were supposed to be guaranteed were those for incoming K, 6th and 9th graders trying to go to the same non-base school currently attended by their siblings and existing students who didn't want to be reassigned from their current school into one of the three new schools.

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

We live near North Hills with a base school which is underenrolled, underfunded, and has terrible test scores. We applied to Pleasant Union during the first transfer period and got in. No siblings or other priorities. I am shocked I was let out!!! Woohoo!

A big change

Had this been 6 years ago, you would have been told "sorry, we need your numbers at the base school."

Awesome!

I'm thrilled for you and hope that many more people got good news yesterday. I look forward to seeing the aggregate results.

Congrats!

Congrats!
