I accept going to the different site, BUT the director said that there will be NO interpreter on 6/26 and he asked me to bring my son or find volunteers to do interp svc. I asked him to fund interp. service and his response is "the class charges you only $580 and they do not have further funds." I want to reply him with a nice and gentle warning before I would seek advocate or legal help. What do you suggest that I say to him in order to hire Qualified Interpreters for my classes? Thks.
