Wow - Dems on the Wake School board said "Ta Ta" to Tea Party darling Tata!

1. He was hired by the previous board & started running afoul of a families' group over

school re-assignment, busing, and school bonds.

Goldman said new Democratic board members are being "controlled" by Great Schools in Wake Coalition, a local group that is opposed to a new assignment plan that Tata implemented this year.

In addition to the three-year student assignment plan that Tata implemented – the board is looking to revise it for the upcoming school year – the school board also wants to campaign to sell bonds next year for new schools. Some in the political realm have already pledged to block those efforts if Tata is fired.

I rather imagine that the Democrats on the school board figured they were going to block the bonds anyway, so they decided to take on the battle under new leadership.
