Leon Lynn from Rethinking Schools here. We've updated our website with
the complete text of our latest issue, Volume 16, No. 3.

You can find the current issue at
http://www.rethinkingschools.org/Archives/curriss.htm.

This issue features some of the most in-depth reporting on school
vouchers you will see anywhere. Featured are stories by investigative
reporter Erik Gunn that show how religious schools in Milwaukee are
using loopholes in the voucher laws to rake in millions of extra tax
dollars. Meanwhile, Milwaukee's public schools are being forced to cut
staff and programs to close massive budget deficits -- for the third
year in a row.

Editor Barbara Miner reports first-hand on the recent oral arguments
before the U.S. Supreme Court on the Cleveland school voucher progam,
and whether it violates the separation of church and state.

Plus, we offer a rich collection of resoures on school vouchers at
http://www.rethinkingschools.org/SpecPub/voucher.htm.

Also featured in this issue is an in-depth report on special education.
Several articles chronicle the history of this often misunderstood
aspect of public education, and the ongoing struggles to properly serve
students with special needs. We also look at the continuing battle over
reauthorizing the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
