[nagdu] CA state board

Hi Tracey- CAGDU is on top of this situation with the CA state Guide Dog
board. We have a committee that is in the first stages of having this board
abolished.

I am concerned about the effect the new CA guide dog board's regulations
could have on home-training there.
I recently spoke to one of my classmates from TSE who lives in California.
 She said TSE had offered her home training for health reasons.  She decided
not to get a dog at this time, because of poor health, but suppose she had
decided to go ahead with the home training?  Wouldn't these new regs require
TSE to pay a fee for the privilege of offering their graduate what both
parties have agreed best suits her needs?  And, knowing how states work,
also require TSE to go through lots of paperwork.  It might make a school
less willing to offer their graduates in CA home training. 
Granted, the state has the right to regulate things as it sees fit, but this
one does not seem to be in the best interests of blind people in California.
Tracy
