Special Ed in NY--all cards on the table

I just want to briefly comment on a story I saw on  PatriciaEBauer.com:

New York Schools start posting special education information online.

Assuming the privacy issues are properly taken care of (I assume they are and no one's personal information will be compromised), this is a remarkable step forward in a system that is not known for its willingness to open up and be transparent in its activities.  Kudos to NYC.
