[Donna Hill]

Hi NFB Friends,
Thought you should know about this story. It has significance for the 
future of special ed in publicly funded schools as well as accomodations 
for blind employees. Christine Faltz Grassman is an NFB member with 
degrees from Princeton, Pace University and Hofstra School of Law. 
There's a link to her blog at the end of the article. Please re post.
Blessings,

At-risk NYC students are denied special ed services and must sign wavers 
of their rights. Teacher/UFT liaison, speaks out. Minority-based 
discrimination follows.
