More on the gov't shutdown and education

Until Oct. 1, Jenelle Leonard served as the director of school support and rural programs within the U.S. Department of Education.

Then the federal government shut down, leaving 4,000 of the department's workers, including Ms. Leonard, without a paycheck.

What about Laura G. Johns, senior program advisor for the Office of Educational Technology?

And Samuel Lopez, education program specialist at the office of English Language Acquisition?

Yep, them too. (Ross Brenneman at Education Week)
