I’m on the road Friday and over the weekend, but not to worry. There’s tons to talk about — budgets, layoffs, pensions, etc. Feel free to post comments, link to news and commentary, and all of the usual stuff in the comments below. [Or you can find me on twitter here.] I’ll be back on Monday.

I grew up near Roscoe & Halsted in the 1970s, left for college and moved back in 2000, started this blog in 2005 (first on my own, then with Catalyst, and now with ChicagoNow). My dad went to Senn. I went to Near North Montessori and Parker. Since 2006 I've been living in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn -- the Wicker Park of New York City. I have another education blog called This Week In Education that focuses on school reform trends at the national level.
