Hey Chuck, glad to see this.  One question for you -- is this school 
wheelchair accessible?  Will they take disabled persons?
Recently I ran into a fellow crip working for an Independent Living 
Center who was doing some work on the homeless issue in LA and he was 
finding that shelters are by and large not accessible to wheelchair 
users.  There *are* homeless people in chairs. On top of that 
shelters were turning down disabled persons because they are 
"liabilities".  I don't think the homeless advocates have addressed 
that one at all.
Did you see any of that going on?
Marta
