It is now almost February, the students at The Hagedorn Little Village have only received 43 days of in-person education since September. Many of the students at Little Village are regressing, where their peers at other special Education schools have been open this whole time making leaps and bounds. This is the only special education school on Long Island to close as much as they have. None of the other special education schools are having these struggles. Virtual/Remote does not work for this population of students, which we have all seen in the past. Hybrid is NOT an option for our children as they will still have to be remote on many days. The Hybrid Model actually has children exposed to even more people and places as parents who work need to have a place for them to go and get additional services on days that they are not in school. The schedule of inconsistency also leaves children very confused as many of the special needs children depend on schedule and routine. Being full-time is the only option that should be given to students at The Hagedorn Little Village, anything less would be unacceptable. This is not just a school for these children, but where they get many of their therapies Speech, OT, PT, ABA etc.  Enough time has already been lost for these poor children, they can not go backwards again, only forward to FULL-TIME.
