Sonya and Xavier Lawrence(Sarah Mueller)

At least one Delaware parent whose son, a fifth grader with a visual impairment, testified before the Joint Finance Committee during budget hearings for the Division for the Visually Impaired (DVI), says the state budget significantly underfunds education for the almost 300 students receiving services through DVI. Citing the lack of support her son receives in school, she says she will be sending him to Philadelphia for middle school.
