Hide Profile

The Special Schools Bureau was responsible for supervising Indian schools on reservations, schools for the blind and deaf, schools for adults in prison, (until 1924), and (beginning in 1923) the New York State Nautical School.

Schools for the deaf were private, non-profit institutions that were heavily supported financially by the state. Two schools for the blind were state supported private institutions while the third was the New York State School for the Blind, supported and operated by the state. The New York Nautical School became a state institution in 1913 and provided education and training in navigation, seamanship, and marine transport and engineering.
