HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - At Plan Bee Academy in Chesapeake, students thrive with hands-on experiences. The private day school teaches kids with autism and related disabilities, but it all came to a screeching halt when COVID-19 hit.

We had some that were looking at cutting our funding altogether because we werenât providing in-person instruction, even though we werenât allowed to, Fitch said.
