The Gradebook, tampabay.com's all-day source for education news, debuts this morning.

Here is what you can expect:

News. - Times reporters will post updates throughout the day.

Each weekday by 8 a.m., Jeff Solochek will conduct roll call, providing links to reports by the St. Petersburg Times and other media about schools, education and the politics and policies behind them.

Leaders in the field - superintendents, School Board members, legislators - occasionally will participate in online question-and-answer sessions.

We'll examine legislation that affects schools, trying to answer your questions by consulting the experts that Times reporters talk to daily.

You can have the latest posts delivered to you with an RSS feed, so you'll know as soon as we do.

You can exchange information and opinions with other parents and educators.

The Web address is blogs.tampabay.com/schools.
