An item posted in one of the NACOL forums late yesterday or earlier today.
By 2011, every high school student in Alabama will have free access to online courses. “ACCESS (Alabama Connecting Classrooms, Educators and Students Statewide) offers an innovative way to ensure that students have equal education opportunities…Overall, distance learning can improve public education in Alabama.”
See these two articles:

And in Ed Week (free subscription):

Hi - It would have been nice if you credited the person who posted the information to the NACOL Forum (me).
Thanks,

Rob,
I’d be happy to credit you with it (and all future ones that I copy and paste from there). Netiquette usually says that if you take something from a private source (e.g., a password protected discussion forum) that you shouldn’t include the personal information because the poster didn’t post the material in a public forum. This is why I always remove the poster from the stuff I post from the NACOL forums, but always include the blog address when I post an entry from another blog (i.e., one is private while the other is public).
Your comment indicates that such attribution is okay by you, so I’ll try and do it for you in the future. And I meant no disrespect this time around, just didn’t know if you were okay with it.
