Hello all!  I was curious if anyone had their child/children in a charter
school.  We have a new science charter school opening in our area and went
to the information meeting and was really excited about it.  I know they
are required to meet the requirements of the IEP, but I have heard of other
charter schools, where they don't provide a braillists, one doesn't even
get TVI services any longer, etc.  I don't know the full stories behind
these issue's, but I was wondering if others had any experiences and any
suggestions to share if we were accepted via the lottery, which is the
first hurdle.

I know all the requirements for a VI child (except I have two!) is a huge
expense for any school and I don't want their to be a sense of resentment
that my children are costing them the most but the idea of a 18 child
classroom, project  based and theme based instruction is very exci
t
ing
 
and I can see a VI child excelling in this environment.  I just want to go
in with both eye's open and know what I'm getting into!

Thanks much,
