[Athen] Statewide accessibility training center

[Ron]

James Bailey would be a good person to talk to he was working in the area
at the time and also knew Carl Brown. Also perhaps Sean Keegan. His time at
the HTCTU predates Gaeir's.

The Tech Act projects were designed to just this thing, but where never
adequately funded. There are also some good models in the K-12 system but
they are K-12 only.

The funding challenge is going to be what target population will you serve,
if it is all then you are going to have to figure out the political
conflicts and the conflicts inherent in the various laws that govern public
funding streams. Private public partnership would be the way to go in my
mind.

Interesting concept, one many have tried, including me within the
educational space. Let's keep the conversation going.
