[nfbmi-talk] rodgers is a liar and newsline related

[Pauline Smith]

My my, Fred's becoming a feisty man in his older years on the earth.  Well, you have to call it what it is and it sounds like the tale is being told to me.  The original message has the federal law and everything citation so it sound to me like Mr. Rogers and his cronies are trying to get out of something that they were told to do after a monitoring audit.

> 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.
