HENRICO COUNTY, Va. Watching a video about the French Revolution, Kyleigh Fannin struggles to interpret what she is supposed to be learning.
The pandemic has forced the Glen Allen High School ninth-grade student into virtual learning since March.
Fannin, 14, said much of her new form of schooling consists of watching videos and trying to stay focused. Tests and quizzes started to get harder, just a bunch of things started to go downhill I feel like, Fannin said.
Fannin s mother, Jennifer Farmer, said things really started to spiral in the fall. She s never had Fs or Ds and now we have several, Farmer said. She just wasn t getting up out of bed, her demeanor was different, she had a different attitude, just not happy, sad, not engaged, shut in her room a lot.
Dr Gabriel Scally
In 2018 Dr Scally was pointed by the Irish Government to conduct a preliminary inquiry into the cervical cancer controversy.
He also assisted the Hyponatraemia Inquiry into the deaths of five children in Northern Ireland hospitals as both an expert witness and as an advisor to the Chair, Justice O Hara.
During the course of 2020, Dr Scally says he had a strange feeling that all his working life as a public health doctor has been in preparation for this time. In the spring I could see clearly the serious errors mounting up and it made me very anxious and extremely fearful of what was coming, he said.
The new Board of Commissioners convenes its organizational meeting earlier in the month.
DANBURY The Board of County Commissioners moved closer to approval of a new salary system for county employees during its regular meeting Monday night, signaling it will approve the salary study plan being offered by The Mercer Group, an outside consultant, at its next meeting in January.
Actually implementing the plan, however, may require much more work, several commented.
In short, the plan would assign each county job a pay grade, which would have a minimum salary, a maximum and a mid-point. The Mercer Group’s plan also offers recommendations as to which jobs should be assigned into which pay grade.
