When COVID-19 hit Mary Washington Hospital where Stacy Mason works in the surgical intensive care unit, she and other nurses found challenges in every shift, from strict new protocols to a ban on visitors.
The Fauquier County resident adopted a regimen of changing clothes in the hospitalâs parking lot and not touching her two children until showering and washing contaminated clothing. And she began noticing that many hospital staffers were having trouble finding and buying essential products.
Some had lost work hours and money was tight. Others didnât have time after shifts to get into stores with COVID-shortened hours.
“That is an unfair and unjust result for our students who can least afford to lose this life-changing opportunity to earn a diploma, credential or endorsement,” the guidance states.
The state s guidance covers students with disabilities, English language learners, economically disadvantaged students and those who have experienced homelessness.
The state supports extending services as needed, including summer school or up to another full academic year.
The SED guidance is just that guidance. But a bill in the state Legislature would make the school extension for students with disabilities required. And it would extend to age 23. The legislation, sponsored by Assemblyman Tom Abinanti and Sen. Peter Harckham, remains in committee in both chambers.
