Insofar as the OSB students transferring to WSSB is concerned, one must 
bear in mind the following:

(1) Unless Oregon can come up with a mechanism to fund the cost to 
attend WSSB, the only way OSB students could atend would be for their 
parents to either pay the cost themselves or move to Washington so the 
students would be eligible as citizens of Washington.

(2) Although by law parents in Washington (unlike those in Oregon or 
many other states) have the right to choose WSSB as the school their 
blind children should attend immediately (as opposed to only having WSSB 
as a choice if a public school placement doesn't work), it is not 
necessarily clear whether all students would find WSSB a satisfactory 
placement as I understand that some of the students have multiple 
disabilities that WSSB is not equipped to handle.

We are very fortunate here in Washington. Doug and Annie are wonderful 
teachers. This is a time to reflect on our lives as blind citizens when 
we think about the Blind students in Oregon. Anyone think some will have 
to attend Wssb?
