Notes from the Editor:

New National School Directory!
The National Jewish School Directory has gone live on the website as of 09/017/07. The next directory set to go live is the National Charter School Directory on 10/01/07.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome back!
You can expect a lot of great changes in the coming year. I hope to have a more professional design in 2008 complete with search engine capabilities and .ASP servers which educators can post information and lesson plans.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

New Articles
The summer months are the slowest for this site, as most educators are off for the summer and enjoying their time off. I did not feel it necessary to keep the articles page updated. We currently have 30-40 articles on hold for next month. Starting September you can expect a daily article on the website pertaining to various topics in education and disabilities
