 Rhonda LaughingGreetings,
 
Lots of information here.  We are growing and have had to upgrade our server to accomodate that growth.  I am happy to report that we have fixed the issues that caused some delays for students, and it should be smooth sailing for our online students.  Great new courses for you to experience:  Diabetes in Residential Care, Osteoporosis, Thyroid and Asperger's are getting great reviews.  More classes are in development. 
 
We worry that you might miss some of the information here.  If you need any further information after you read this, like a narrative of AB 2220, let us know.  There's a fabulous prize for the first person to ask about writing a support letter for AB 2220.  That just lets me know that this gets read. 
 
Enjoy this beautiful April.  I look forward to seeing you soon.

Please support AB 2220
 
Currently, there is no policy to evaluate the governance of the monies filtered through the regional center system. The Department of Developmental Services is not equipped to monitor the individual financial aspects that may assist in ensuring the funding is being utilized effectively, efficiently, and in the best interest of those with disabilities. 
Regional Centers hide under their non-profit status when asked for information that would typically be covered under the California Public Records Act and the Legislative Open Records Act, among other statutes It is the intent of AB 2220 to require the Regional Centers, private non-profit community agencies that utilize public funds to provide state mandated services to persons with disabilities, to disclose information to the public under the California Public Records Act (PRA).
