Another NYT Education Reporter To Leave

K12 education reporter Diana Jean Schemo says she's taking the buyout and leaving the NYT.  She says her plans are to finish a book on the U.S. Air Force Academy and work on some magazine pieces. Schemo joins recent education departures including Karen Arenson (buyout) last week.  Based in DC, Schemo has covered education for the paper since 2000.  Here is a list of Schemo's clips.

UPDATE:  Schemo covered early childhood and higher ed as well as K12, and plans to do more writing for the Times and other outlets in the future, on a freelance basis.
