The Wake County school board has adopted a new ethics policy, reports the N&O?s WakeEd blog:

The code says that board members shall “remember always that a board member’s first and greatest concern must be the educational welfare of the students attending the public schools.

Among the 12 points, board members shall “render all decisions based on the available facts and independent judgment and refuse to surrender that judgment to individuals or special interest groups.”

Quite a few parents think that?s already happening, and are organizing to do something about it.
