Hello Everyone,

Scott McCallum, Superintendent of the Washington State School for the Blind, is asking for our feedback regarding some definitions related to WSSB’s strategic plan update. Do not reply to this list but instead send your thoughts directly to Scott at scott.mccallum at wssb.wa.gov <mailto:scott.mccallum at wssb.wa.gov> by April 30.

Thanks,

>> Greetings,
>> I hope this email finds you well and healthy. The Washington State School for the Blind (WSSB) is in the midst of writing an updated strategic plan for the agency.  In the early stages of our process we have identified and defined our core values.  One of those core values for us at WSSB is accessibility. We have attempted to define what accessibility means to us and have landed on the following definition to be included in our strategic plan:
>>  
>>      Accessibility – Practice, Provide, and Promote Universal Design so that individuals can utilize all information and their environment with comparable usability
>>  
>> We are seeking feedback from you to make sure our definition of our core value of accessibility is meaningful and resonates with others, especially you.  If you have any constructive feedback that you would like us to consider in our definition of accessibility at WSSB, email your feedback to me at scott.mccallum at wssb.wa.gov <mailto:scott.mccallum at wssb.wa.gov> no later than Thursday, April 30, 2020. Finally, we will be seeking additional feedback on other aspects of our strategic plan from our friends in NFB and WCB at a later date.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.
