As an education reporter I wish I could touch on every topic that impacts students, their parents, educators and taxpayers, but sometimes things fall through the cracks.
Alas, while writing this story about proposed revisions to education law, I realized I'd missed reporting on changes planned in special education
Virginia's state school board is meeting today and it expected to approve the changes.
Welcome to Chalk Dust! This is your community aimed at exploring education in the New River Valley. I'm Anna Mallory. I went to public schools in West Virginia and now I cover PreK-12 education for the Roanoke Times.
I read way too many reports about improving schools and can speak in entire sentences using educational acronyms. I'll be letting you know about issues and events affecting your children, schools and tax dollars, but, more importantly, I want to know what you think. Let me know your opinions about issues in the boardroom, classroom and beyond.
