I look forward to the opportunity to vote down this bond.

The "Elementary Capacity Data" published today states that about 30,000 elementary addresses that met "proximity" criteria under the 2012-13 plan will not be assigned to the base of the elementary school students at those addresses currently attend. It puts about 30,000 into the base that are attending another school due to proximity. It is a base assignment plan with limited or no choice due to capping of base attendance.

If it is politics now that he was fired 5 to 4 just what do you call it when he was hired with the same vote.

skipkirkwood2-- dont know where you read that but that is not what I have read. My infor is that he does not have a state supt's certifiction. Training that a "general" has no revelance to public eduction. In fact with his military background I would discarded his appliction. Military supervision is different than civilain. I have not seen any outpouring of support from him from the principals or support staff. The first rule in keeping a job is to have a good relationship with your supervisor. He didnt pass rule no. 1. If you consider the supply a problem how about you send money to the school to help pay for your own childs education. I hold a BS degrees as well as a Master's Degree in Education along with being a CPA. I have been a Finance Director for a very large system. Just what are your credentials. As Finance Director I attended all school board meetings and meetings with the principals.

Wake county school broad is a laughing joke in the state NC. The whole country is watching and not liking what they see.....

I am a Wake County resident and here is a heads up for the WAKE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD......I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANY SCHOOL BOND.

By the way - as of today - textbooks not provided or not available. If the kids don't have broadband computer access at home they are so out of luck. Janitorial service only provided two days per week at a magnet high school (the environment is just gross). Science teachers get 50 cents per student for lab supplies (what a joke - they are asking for "donations" to be able to teach).

The current state of our schools is appalling!

Superman - not true. Supt. Tata had degrees and experience, including high-level superintendent training that many superintendents who have "come up" inside the education machine do not have. I don't think you have any idea about the leadership and management responsibilities, education, and training of an individual who rises to the rank of Brigadier General in the Army. Hint - it's huge.

I will not vote for a bond measure until I see evidence that there are some adults present on the board. I will count on the Board of County Commissioners to make sure that the school board is subject to adult supervision. And I will not vote for candidates who support using the schools as "social engineering laboratories" as they were in the pre-Margiotta days.

The school board has crossed the line ... that Advanced Ed team is likely on their way back. I hope they dis-credit the whole bunch of democrats. I was listening to them on the radio this morning, they're mad.

Vote NO on any future school bond until this board can get it together and stop acting like spoiled little brats. If those who have kids in the system want new schools and diversity, then charge parents a surcharge per child they have in the system.
