HARRISBURG, Pa. Dolorez Cobb-Jones, a former teacher and principal in the Harrisburg and Lancaster school districts, said that she noticed an issue while conducting parent conferences and meeting grandparents who were guardians.
“I started to observe how many of them were just struggling with raising the grandchildren,” said Jones. “Whether it be financially, mentally, physically.”
This matter strikes a chord with Cobb-Jones who assisted her mother in taking care of a child in the family.
