[nagdu] guiding eyes application question

[Ann Chiappetta]

Marion and All;
I think Southeastern asked, too. Like I said,if something were to go wrong, 
as in a sudden  illness or injury, it would be good for the school to know 
in advance and have that information in your file. I have athtesma and I 
wanted my school to know all my health related information in case I lost 
consciousness due to an attack. It has nothing to do with paternalistic 
attitudes, it's just common sense.
