New Tucson School for the Blind Opens to Serve K-12 Students

In response to the Arizona State School for the Deaf and Blind's (ASDB) relocation, a new educational institution dedicated to blind and visually impaired students is set to open in downtown Tucson. Kate Scally Howell, a former music director at ASDB, has established the Tucson School for the Blind at 149 North Stone Avenue. The school will cater to K-12 students, with plans to introduce a preschool program in the coming years. Families utilizing Empowerment Scholarship Account funding can attend without out-of-pocket tuition costs. This initiative aims to provide a consistent and supportive learning environment for students affected by ASDB's campus changes. (kjzz.org)
