K12 Academics Updates for June 19-25th
Minimal updates for this week, as I had family issues to attend to. Everything is OK now so expect a lot of updates within the next few weeks as new dierctories open to make way for the 2006-2007 School year.

Website News

K12 Academics was awarded the Website of the month from Starteaching.com. I do not go out seeking awards like many websites do to try and establish their site, so it is a great honor to receive this award.

I want to congratulate fellow K12 Academics Columnist W. Glenn Walker on his most recent award. Mr. Walker has been named the Christian Educators Association International's 2006-07 National Teacher of the Year. To visit his articles on the site click here.

The California Department of Education Special Education Division has declared K12academics.com one of their affiliates for Education & Disability Resources.
