ExplanationPart II-A, Line 1(a & b), Other Lobbying Activities Perkins School for the Blind (Perkins) receives funding from the Commonwealth of Masachusetts through an annual budget appropriation to help execute the functions of the Braille and Talking Book Library (the Library) which is located at Perkins. In addition, Perkins rates for tuition for its special education programs are set by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. During these difficult times, the school works with the Director of the Library and others at Perkins to raise awareness of the important work of the library and by special Education programs and the importance of maintaining funding from the Commonwealth for the administration of the Library and for the Special Education Programs. The work performed includes tracking the budget process and keeping Perkins aware of the status of the budget process. It also involves arranging meetings with members of the legislature and members of the administration to raise awareness of Perkins and the Library and the critically important resource that the Library, and the school represents for its cliental and students. The school proposes budgetary language, when appropriate, to increase the funding that the library receives from the Commonwealth.Explanation
