[nagdu] Staff cuts at guide dog schools

[Deanna Lewis]

Hi list,
I have heard of some very big changes in a couple of guide dog schools recently, and am a bit worried by it.
I know that two very well respected Guide Dog schools have had large staffing cuts recently. Both schools let go of trainers/field reps with years of experience. Also, both schools are also renovating their dormitories. I am wondering if there is a connection? And also I am worried that this may become a trend with the training programs? I hope not.
Do you know of any other schools who have done this recently?
What do y'all think?
I hope not to start a big debate, but I am just worried that many of the schools are headed towards being less client driven.
