In this case, blind students throughout the New York City public school system will be denied an equal education if the city goes through with a proposed $30 million deal that will make Amazon the exclusive provider of e-textbooks and other materials for students. We have one chance to stop this deal from going through. The school system’s Panel for Educational Policy, which has the final say on the deal, will meet next Wednesday, August 26, to vote on it, and blind people must be there in force to let the panel members and the public  know that this is a bad deal for blind students and, therefore, for New York City schools.
