[Ohio-talk] Commendation

[Kaiti Shelton]

I agree, completely, but since my counselor has suddenly resigned I do not
really have a go-to person to get in touch with at the local level, and the
Cincinnati office just told me to call Central.  

I, and the rest of the students in the Cincinnati VRP3 caseload, were
notified that our counselor was resigning on a Monday with her last day
being Friday of that same week.  We are still waiting to hear who our new
counselors will be, or if we will remain on the VRP3 system or move to BSVI.

Kaiti, I am thrilled it worked out but, what if you had not talked with
Mindy at the meeting?  Why should it take that much work to get it resolved?
Counselors should be there to help you resolve all of this.
