The
Special Ed Advocate is
a free online newsletter. Each issue includes information about special
ed law, new decisions, research, internet links, and other special education
topics. We will publish this newsletter occasionally, not on a set schedule.
The Special Ed Advocate is
an on-line newsletter - it is not available by mail.
Subscribers to The
Special Ed Advocate will be the first to receive announcements
about new cases, special pre-publication book discounts, and other
information about special education advocacy.
This newsletter is
available to all. In addition to parents, advocates and attorneys,
subscribers include public school educators, administrators, and psychologists,
school board attorneys and publishers of legal information for school
boards.

PRIVACY STATEMENT
We respect your privacy.
Our subscriber list is confidential. We do not release information
about subscribers and our list is not for sale. Period!
PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE
IF YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS CHANGES!
If you change your email
address, please unsubscribe using your old email account and resubscribe
using your new email account.
After we send out a newsletter
or alert, approximately one percent are returned. In most cases, the
individual's email account has been closed, the subscriber's mailbox
is full, or the receiving ISP is out of service. When that happens,
we delete this email address from our subscriber list. This individual
will not receive additional newsletters or alerts until the individual
resubscribes, as if subscribing for the first time.
Unsubscribe instructions
are at the end of each newsletter. If you believe your email address
has been deleted, check the most recent issue of the newsletter at
the website to see if you received it. We place issues on the website
approximately two weeks after mailing them to our subscribers.

Many of our subscribers
cannot receive mailing list emails at their place of employment, or
do not desire to have "The Special Ed Advocate" emailed to them at
work. We have noticed that many subscribers have a separate email
account through one of the free email services such as hotmail, yahoo,
or another free email website. The email is retrieved by going to
the website of that email service, rather than using your regular
email program.
LINKS
Some recipients will receive
the newsletter in an ascii text format, and others will receive it
with hyperlinks, depending on your email program. In the newsletter,
if we refer you to an article or webpage at wrightslaw dot com, we
provide the complete website address of an article or website. If
your format is ascii, it cannot be "hyperlinked" to the webpage. To
go to the link, i.e., new webpage, you will have to "copy and
paste" the complete "http://" address provided in the newsletter into
the address line of your web browser.
With Windows 95, you can
select (highlight) the entire "http://" address and then use the "Copy
and Paste" icons at the top of your toolbar, or simply "select"
the address and then press the "Control" and "C" key to copy, and
"Control" and "V" key to paste. We recommend that you copy and paste,
since manually typing in the address frequently leads to errors and
reports to you that the link is broken.
NEWSLETTER ARCHIVES
After the newsletter has
been distributed to the newsletter subscribers, we reformat
the newsletter into an html document, match links with the "http://"
addresses. We revise our index and library pages on the website, then
"FTP" the newsletter to the Wrightslaw site. In most cases,
this process takes about two weeks. Occasionally, we provide a "printer-friendly"
version of the newsletter at the time it is published. Whether we
provide a "printer-friendly" version depends on the time we available
at the time. After we post the newsletter on Wrightslaw,
you can "hyperlink" to the page direct from the archived newsletter
posted on the site.
NEWS EVENTS
Although we regularly check
various online sources for late breaking legal special ed news, we
have a tremendous response from our readers who provide us with "same
day" information about major cases, settlements and other newsworthy
events. We are appreciate such an alert audience and encourage you
to send us breaking news events.
If you have news to share,
please send your news event to webmaster@wrightslaw.com.
We receive an unbelievable
amount of email every day. To ensure that we see your "BREAKING NEWS
EVENT," please put BREAKING NEWS EVENT in the subject line
of your email and send it to webmaster@wrightslaw.com.
Our newsletter and
website have grown quickly and successfully because of your input!
We thank you..
