Subject: [GDUI-Chat] update on the Seeing Eye and the CA State Board

 

The Eo of the State board informed Seeing Eye that they could serve their CA
graduates if they have a licensed instructor supervising them. Since the
Seeing Eye was fined for an instructor who happens to also be an O&M
instructor serving CA students for follow up services the Board allowed
Seeing Eye to Serve graduates under the supervision of a license instructor.
As of last evening Brian, the Board's eO has informed the Seeing Eye that
they can no longer be supervised by a license instructor. As of now, the
Seeing Eye has no way to serve their CA students for follow up other than
having them return to the Seeing Eye. As we all know much of the follow up
needs to take place In our home communities. The problem is growing more and
more out of hand. I sure hope that GDUI will take a stand by sending a
letter to the following people. The letter should be sent to Brian and
copies to the others listed below. We in CA really need your help.
