With more information coming from the schools, I have added a section for Special Education articles and issues under School News and Information. I've moved all the articles from other areas of the website that deal with Special Education into this section.

Connected Communities readership has been steadily increasing. In July there were 825 visitors. With public safety bulletins published from the police department and the start of school on August 27th, more people are coming to get news and information. Visits in August jumped to 2,061.
