Now, Rodgers contended to NFB and all blind folks at yesterday's BSBP
meeting or implied that it couldn't be funded and RSA told him so.

But here is what RSA said in its 2009 monitoring report with citations....
"
5.  Innovation and Expansion (I&E) Projects 

 

Observation:  MCB funds I&E projects that are primarily recreational in
nature, as opposed to directly linked to employment.  I&E funds are for the
development and implementation of innovative approaches to expand and
improve the provision of VR services to individuals with disabilities.  An
example of an I&E project could be a pilot work readiness and job coaching
program for transition-age youths.

  

MCB has been using I&E funds to cover expenditures related to the Newsline
for the Blind, which provides access to a variety of news media for persons
who are blind or visually-impaired, including vacancy announcements and
employment related classified advertisements.  This service would be better
provided as a service to groups pursuant to 34 CFR 361.49.

 

Recommendations:  RSA recommends that MCB:

5.1              transfer funding of Newsline from an I&E project to
services for groups under 34 CFR 361.49; and

5.2              ensure any projects funded under I&E are
employment-focused, consistent with 34 CFR 361.35.

 

Agency Response:

5.1              MCB will identify any funding of Newsline as services for
groups consistent with 34 CFR 361.49.

5.2              MCB will ensure any projects funded under I&E are
employment-focused, consistent with 34 CFR 361.35.

 

Technical Assistance:  None requested at this time."
