[blindlaw] Federal Quota Funds...

[Angie Matney]

Hey Lisa,

I would think that APH would be best equipped to answer this question. Did they have any advice about that specific situation? It would seem that they must have had to deal with it before, such as when a student moves or something like that.

Have you posted this to the rehab list on nfbnet? They might no more about the APH quota funds there.

Best,

Angie

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  So one is already in a public school and is withdrawn and placed into a private school, how does that work in regards to the Federal Quota Fund Account?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.
