Complaint: Baltimore schools discriminate against blind students
July 31st, 2009From the Baltimore Sun and WJZ Baltimore:
The National Federation of the Blind has filed a formal complaint with the Maryland Department of Education, charging that Baltimore public schools are allowing blind students to graduate as functional illiterates.
The complaint alleges that the school system has failed to teach Braille, provide effective evaluations, and train students to use technology or mobility services to help them become more independent.
A school district spokeswoman said the district has received the complaint and it is being reviewed by counsel.
