Daily News February 28, 2008

After a long, successful run (since 1996!) the Daily News is taking its final curtain call on Friday, May 15, mainly due to the dwindling number of users who visit the page on a daily basis.

To stay on top of breaking education news, we invite you to visit edweek.org often, as well as our Associated Press page. And of course, we are breaking news daily on our growing roster of blogs.
