A correction to the Legal News from Roger Aronson: on page 4, the third sentence in the final paragraph should read "Considering the current economic downturn, new revenue is not expected to be available." The word "not" was missing. We apologize for the error and strive to be accurate in all MESPA communications.
October 2007 (vol. 37, no. 2) "We have a moral obligation to prepare students for their technology-suffused, globally-interconnected futures. There is an important and vital role for schools in this and effective leaders are the key. Meaningful and sustainable school change never happens without strong leadership."
