Update for your summary:
Schools in six states in particular are being watched closely
School officials in Fort Myers, Fla.; Salem, Ore.; Gray, Ga.; Birch Run, Mich.; two towns in New Jersey; and two towns in California have been told to increase security in light of the discovery.
Officials in the New Jersey towns, Franklinville and Rumson, were notified by counterterrorism officials last month that their schools had been possibly singled out
And William Matthews, superintendent of schools in Jones County, Ga., sent a letter to parents, faculty and staff last week notifying them that security was being increased during the election season.

OMG - Thanks for that update Vel
Could these schools also happen to be polling centers on 11/2?

My darling daughter pointed out that her school's gym is being remodeled - Just like the gym in Beslan...
Thanks, heard it on the news enroute home.
Note: I will be updating this link. FYI.

Just because a disk was found in Iraq with the locales of schools in 6 states doesn't mean those of us in other states can exhale...whose to say there aren't 15 other disks? Or 30? (And any grassroots hometurf jihadi doesn't need a disk to cause trouble.) No school district should think they are safe at this point. We are just fortunate to have discovered this prior to a terrorist massacre here.
