Subject: [blindlaw] Federal Quota Funds...

Hello,
 
My name is Lisa, and I am new to this list.  I joined just to see what
it was all about.  I've been reading some of the emails but not
posting.  My daughter is visually impaired.  
 
I'm not sure if this is the right place to present my query, but here is
what I posted on some other lists and decided to post it here, too, to
see if any of you could help me with this issue.  Please read the
following and  let me know if you can give me some answers....
   
I'm assuming that the Federal Quota Funds are being used by the public
school systems to help pay for materials needed for the visually
impaired and blind.  According to APH, you can't have dual enrollment.
Public  schools are not the only entity that can access these funds.
Private  schools are included.  
So one is already in a public school and is  withdrawn and placed into a
private school, how does that work in regards to the  Federal Quota Fund
Account?  
Does the public school account need to be  closed and a new one opened
in with a private school application?  It also  mentioned that you need
to be enrolled in the registering school by the first  Monday of
January.  Does anybody have a more thorough knowledge of  this.  I am
mostly interested in knowing if I can cancel a registration  from public
schooling and re-register through a private school.
 
Thank you,
Lisa
