Couple ed. leadership stories ...

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:
