[nabs-l] technology question

[Jorge Paez]

Hi NABsters:
As some of you know, I'vee been looking for some sort of scanning device lately, as well as having OCR on my computer in case I need to hand-scan anything (a skill I want to learn soon for any emergencies/scanning I'd have to do on my own),
and I've been looking at the OpenBook/Pearl set up.
Here's my issue though:
My parrents asked the commission but since I'm in high school and still with the board of ed, the commission says its not their responsability,
but I know the board of ed won't pay for things at home.
What can I do?

I mean--I have JFW from them but that's because its on my IEP, and I know they won't go outside their mandates, but the commission isn't doing anything either.
What can I do?
I'd be willing to pay for part of it, but I need help.

Thanks for any advice.

Jorge
