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 to hold line on meal prices

There's some good news for families today.

Don Haydon, chief facilities and operations officer, said today that Wake will not raise school meal prices for the upcoming school year. In December, staff had warned that increases would be likely for the 2009-10 school year.

“[Marilyn Moody, senior director for nutrition] thought this would not be the time to tax people with another meal increase," Haydon told the school board.

Haydon said that child nutrition will dip into its reserves again to make up for the deficit at the end of this fiscal year.
