Explanation(This amendment transfers the existing property and facilities of the Hampton School for the Deaf & Blind to the New Horizons Regional School for an expansion of its current special education services and the creation of any other appropriate services for disabled students. The reversion of the property and facilities would require the New Horizons Regional School board with representation from the Hampton School for the Deaf & Blind to establish collaborative agreements witharea school divisions, the Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board, the state Office of Comprehensive Services, and/or local colleges and universities for the provision of other services as determined to be appropriate for the location. The strategy would allow the Peninsula's educational and health and human resources communities to collaborate on strategies to best meet the needs of an ever-increasing student population.)
