ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
   
  Dates
Dates usually reflect the date that stories were compiled for posting. Articles from non-daily sources are posted on the day they become available to the Department of Education. Weekend news clips are posted on Mondays. Clips are posted for one month. Links to articles and to news resources' Web sites are set to open new windows in your browser.
   
  Trouble Linking to Stories?
The Burlington Free Press, Deerfield Valley News, Barton Chronicle, Herald of Randolph and Journal Opinion only maintain articles for one week on their sites. Although you will still be able to view article summaries on the Department of Education's site, direct links to the articles are removed after one week. Contact the papers directly or check with your local library for copies of older articles. If you have problems with direct links to articles, use the link to a paper's homepage (following the article summary) and search for your article directly through its site.
