The school district won't pay for him to go. The parents could pay privately
to send him but the school district is already paying for other children to
go to BCLC. BCLC is a private preschool for the blind not a state school.
The NFB is closed because of Hurricane Sandy. I have left messages for the
state affiliate and California parents of blind children.
Thanks,
Beth Koenig
