This thread is for Internet resources that are relevant to the work we're doing here. Let's try to keep the entries here be ones that have long-term usefulness, rather than short-term topicality. If there is a website you mention in a regular weekly thread that would be appropriate, give it a short annotated mention here too.

New York State School Boards Association The most relevant articles on the site for our purposes at present may be found using these links: on the left- hand menu, click on "About NYSSBA," then "Introduction to NYSSBA." Click the "School board members" link within the text, and then read the sections available.

Kingston Daily Freeman You may want to occasionally use the search function to see if there are any articles about Onteora online that did not show up on the home page listing. Type in "Onteora."

Woodstock Times Remember that online articles in the Woodstock Times do not get archived. You may want to occasionally save online articles in case you need to cut and paste text or forward the article to someone. If you use Internet Explorer, click "File" the "save as" and give it an appropriate file name such as "Woodstock Times 2.19.01 board interviews" or whatever.

That is why Raven Days was created." -- from the introduction
