Some legal news on hurricane relief

More info here on the back-and-forth between affected states and the feds over relief to schools in the form of desperately needed funding and release from federal red tape. And the New Orleans school district, already under restructuring, needs money to pay its teachers, according to both the superintendent and the private restructuring firm. Another legal issue being watched, according to the Wall Street Journal: Will the feds let school districts educate displaced students in separate facilities, or will this violate federal law against segregating homeless children? And check out the comment under our first September 15 item to see what else the feds apparently have in mind and what one Virginia school board member thinks about it. More on that next week. That "Comments" link under every BoardBuzz posting is for your use, dear readers.
