Friday Snippets - 7/18/08 - Live from Lexington

By Justin Bathon

First Snippets Live from Lexington:

The Arizona Attorney General is now becoming involved in the Voucher funding issues.

Anti-bullying law discussions continue in North Carolina (more).

Discussions continue on Florida's proposed plan to eliminate property taxes for schools.

Who knows if Louisiana's evolution law is constitutional.

More autism talk. 

A group is seeking to rewrite the S.C. Constitution education clause to mandate that schools provide a high quality education.

Another major teacher strike in the UK - this time teaching assistants and support staff.


Couple ed. leadership stories ...

Education leaders put the onus for school improvement on principals in Arkansas.

New Jersey is reviewing some school administrator's administrative licenses suspecting they came from diploma mills.


Around the ed. law blogosphere:

Jen Weissman has Evan Bayh on Education.

Karl Romberger is in favor of a free agent market for teachers.

Last week, Wrightslaw gave the special education law blog five stars, and it has really seemed to stimulate Charlie Fox who this week has Epilepsy resources, the delicate balance of discipline, and teacher speech issue for speaking out on IDEA issues in her school.  

Jim Gerl has the difference between 2 and 1 tier due process systems.

Mitchell R. has some advice for legal bloggers and possibly getting picked up by Lexis and Westlaw.

Title IX blog has the Office of Civil Rights not buying an attempt to exempt some high schools from Title IX. 


And for your Friday Fun:

Think you know movie titles? Give this game a spin. Enter a letter to guess the title (I failed my first 5 tries but then got better quickly).
