EDUCATION SECRETARY TO TAKE PARENTS' CALLS

Education Secretary Lamar Alexander, who for months has used a special hot line to talk with experts about how to improve schools, will chat with parents this week.

He will be among more than 130 principals from 50 states and the District of Columbia taking turns answering the toll-free National Principals' Hotline at the National Association of Elementary School Principals convention in New Orleans this week.

The hot line, 1-800-944-1618, will be open from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday. Alexander is scheduled to begin answering calls shortly before 11 a.m. Tuesday. - Associated Press
