This site will appeal not only to students, but also to teachers and parents looking to stay connected to local schools - and to one another.

Current residents in the housing market and those looking to move here can use this site to check up on local schools before choosing a neighborhood.

Visitors will be able to browse academic calendars, bus routes, discussion forums, hot topics, school “report cards” and more.

The latest stories from The Free Lance-Star will continuously pump fresh information onto the site, so visitors will have a reason to return to the site often.
