<DIV><SPAN class=140285413-12092010>Thanks Steve! The one TVI at Central has
told me she has nothing to do with Braille transcription at Central. I know
how hectic things are in the resource room and I can't imagine much
proofing being done at all. I am pretty confident in saying that Doug
doesn't have anyone proofing his work. I have heard a couple of horror stories.
I do know that we have teachers who Braille for their students on a daily
basis, thank God for that. I was lucky enough to have their expertise when I was
TRYING to transcribe the physics book. Experience has taught me that this job
isn't easy and I know Braille. How can one possibly produce a good product
without the knowledge. I believe that the district should require both of them
to take a class, either through Hadley or U of L. I seriously doubt that JCPS
would pay for a proof reader. </SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>I no longer go to Central and cannot speak for the Braille "team," but I do
know how to produce, proof-read, correct and format Braille (including
Algebra 2) for my student at Atherton. I'm just wondering if there is a
certified Braille specialist available for JCPS employment or if JCPS is willing
to pay the going rate. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Black">P. S. There are 2 full-time TVI's and one
itinerant TVI who specializes in math at Central, and one "Braille" clerk,
plus another "Braille" clerk at Ahrens. There is another itinerant TVI, a former
KSB math teacher, who goes to other schools and knows how to produce correct
literary Braille and Nemeth code.</FONT></DIV>
