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 chairman Ron Margiotta has added to tonight's meeting agenda a vote on rejoining the N.C. School Boards Association.

It would cost $27,265 for Wake to rejoin. Margiotta praised NCSBA's help in the past with policy revisions

Citing financial costs, the GOP majority had voted 5-4 last June to pull out the School Boards Association. Wake is the only school district in the state not to be a member of the group.

Superintendent Tony Tata had recommended rejoining the NCSBA.

UPDATE

The school board voted to rejoin the NCSBA.
