As a part of the fun component of the special education law blog, we run a poll on the lefthand side of the blog. These are not scientific endeavors, and we do not pretend that the results resemble science in any way. Nonetheless, we think that they are fun. The most recent poll just ended. The question was: Given the recession, should cost/money be a defense in special education cases? Here are the results:
43 (62%) No, money is no excuse
17 (25%) Yes, school districts don't have money
7 (10%) Maybe, tough question
2 ( 3%) I'm too poor to answer
0 ( 0%) No opinion
Thanks for voting. Pretty lopsided results. Case closed. (That's a joke, as readers of this blog know, no case is ever closed in special education law!)
In other breaking news, this blog is back in first place in the best education blog category for the 2009 Bloggers Choice Awards. The contest is very close, please vote for this blog. We were lucky enough to finish in first place in the best education blog category last year, and it would further boost our credibility if we can repeat. You will have to sign up and respond to an email, but we really appreciate your support. If you would like to vote for this blog, you can click on the Bloggers Choice Awards button on the left hand side of the blog or else follow this link. There are a bunch of other interesting blogs to check out on the Bloggers Choice Awards website, and they are organized by category.

Don't forget to check out all of the other resources on the lefthand side of the blog. There are lots of links to other websites and blogs with a wealth of information about special ed and special ed law. For example, you can follow the news by reading the headlines of the smartbrief issued every weekday by the Council for Exceptional Children. (This is an example of a blog widget or blidget) You can also see what's happening in the education blog world by clicking on the blognetnews button. There are also links to the exciting special education law groups we have created on the social networking sites Facebook, Ning, LinkedIn and Plaxo.
