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? How will the new choice-based assignment system work now that the socioeconomic diversity policy has been eliminated? How will Superintendent Tony Tata lead the state's largest district through more budget cuts and possible layoffs? How will the board respond to growth and the school construction program?

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 Schools Community Alliance is holding an informational meeting on Sunday with school board candidates Debra Goldman and Deborah Prickett.

The meeting runs from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Cafe Carolina, 137 Weston Parkway in Cary. The event is being billed as an opportunity for Goldman and Prickett "to talk to parents and taxpayers about the most relevant issues you currently face."

Goldman is running in District 9, which covers much of Cary. Prickett is running in District 7, which covers northwest Raleigh, Morrisville and part of Cary.

The WSCA has endorsed both candidates.
