-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re New LD guidelines (taping answers) From: "Patricia Reifen" <patriciareifen@xxxxxxxxxxx> Hi everyone, It has been suggested that schools appeal decisions regarding students who cannot use two tapes. (see quote below). Perhaps therefore, the ministry will also now be able to find payment for those who have to "become tapes". You should know that, unless this has been changed too, those who offer to read to a student instead of the student using a tape are not paid. Only teachers who read for those tested orally can fill in a payment form.
