[blindkid] LRE~School Choice

[Susan Harper]

When I worked at the Catholic School, they worked with the public school and
the public school provided the services there with an IEP.   I don't know if
this was unique to our town or was a state wide kind of thing.  It is worth
checking into, if Addison is enjoying success at the Catholic School.  It is
worth checking into.
Blessings,
Sue H.
