Modify Virginia School Closure Dates

The Issue

Instead of closing all Virginia schools for this calendar year, amend it to close until April 17th or April 30, 2020. Re evalute the appropriate end date and decide if it needs to be moved or not. When you close schools all together it doesn't give anyone a chance to see if things are getting better and to be able to make changes.

Give our Seniors who have worked tirelessly to achieve this milestone the chance to graduate with their fellow classmates.

If the COVID 19 virus is not contained by April 17th or 30th, we understand.  But at least give the Doctors and Scientists more time to find a vaccine.  A lot of other states have dates such as 4/17, 4/24, 4/28, and 5/1

No one wants their child put in harms way but give it some time to see how things go
