| HANDICAPPED ACCESS |
|
Review the accessibility of the school to handicapped persons. NEED: Many Jewish schools continue to utilize facilities which are not accessible to persons in wheel chairs, and lack programs to train their staff to exercise the appropriate Jewish sensitivities to disabled persons. The result is often the denial of Jewish educational opportunity to the disabled. PROCESS: Create a special committee to examine this question as a community wide issue - without finger pointing, but with a commitment to rapidly remedy whatever exclusionary practices and facilities do exist. POSSIBILITIES: Questions of accessibility relate not only to the width of doors, the arrangement of seats in a classroom, and access to the Bimah to lead in Tefilot and to receive an Aliyah, but also to matters such as the public address system of the school and the location and supervision of extra-curricular activities. |
