Prince William County School Board wants Gov to drop social distancing for outdoor graduations
Parents in Prince William County want Governor Ralph Northam to drop social distancing for outdoor graduations
Parents in at least one Northern Virginia school district say social distancing rules outdoors are stricter than those indoors - and they want them dropped for in-person graduation ceremonies that are held outdoors.
The Prince William County School Board is asking Virginia Governor Ralph Northam to waive social distance requirements for upcoming outdoor graduations. In school our students are three-feet apart from one another. So indoors the requirement is three-feet apart, why would outdoors – in an outdoor arena – be six-feet? That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, Board Chairman Babur Lateef told Fox 5 Thursday.

Voices: Teachers union pushes for pay raises, promotions for food service, transportation employees Hansford
Prince William Education Association President Maggie Hansford spoke before the Prince William County School Board on February 8 to push for raises for school employees.
I just want to start off by making Dr. Walts for making educators a priority in this year’s budget.
There are a couple of things that I would like you to consider when you are working on this year’s budget. I know you have a lot of priorities and a tall task.
I would like for you to consider a 2% cost of living adjustment for our staff. It looks like inflation is estimated at 2 percent, so a staffer earning their STEP (salary increase), and the cost of living (salary increase) every year should reflect that inflation.
