[Nyagdu] Accessibility issues with Guide Dog Foundation in Smithtown

[cheryl echevarria]

Tracie:
I live 5 minutes away from the school, plus I am also a member of the Central Islip Lions, that help raise money for the dogs.
So, I know all the team players up there, and it seems goes in one ear and out the other. Maxx is now 7, and I hope I have him as long as possible, I start to wonder why many of our other graduates stay away from certain schools, and if this keeps happening, they ask for the help, but don't listen.  So who do I go to next the one that is 5 minutes away, or the one that cares about the dogs, and our issues with accessibility.
