Hearing disability advocate questions absence of adequate facilities for deaf and hearing impaired
Hearing disabilities advocate Jack Clevenger asked the Governing Board to look into the situation at the Performance Hall for those with hearing disabilities. Clevenger reminded the Board that the Americans for Disability Act requires facilities for the hearing impaired. He also suggested that the 11,000 residents of Prescott with hearing impairment would begin considering attending concerts and other events if the facility fully complied with ADA.
The Board did not indicate it was going to put the issue on a future agenda. It was silent. (It might.) Query: Is the College in violation of the ADA? Should the College be more receptive to persons with disabilities like Jack Clevenger? The Blog believes that President Penelope Wills should specifically address those concerns at the March Board meeting.
