Just a quick note regarding our conference call this past Tuesday
Hello Everyone, I just want to say thanks to everyone that joined us for the conference call Tuesday evening. I also wanted to update all of you regarding one of the things being discussed during the call. This is in regard to working in person with students. At the time of the Call, the Nebraska Center for the Blind was providing in person instruction, while carefully following the CDC recommendations; however, this has changed as of this week. On Wednesday afternoon I dropped by our supervisor, Greg DeWall's office, and in the course of our discussions, he said that he was seriously considering a return to remote instruction. This decision was finalized Thursday, and so until the rates of infection are again falling, we will likely continue to work with our students using phone calls, ?Zoom, and other means. There will be some limited contact at our student apartments, and students will be given some independent routes, but they will not be utilizing public transportation during this period. I wanted you to know of this decision, since some of you were looking for ideas for returning to direct teaching, and while it may be possible to return to this more extensive contact with students, given the current rates of infection, this is probably not the time. Please be safe, and if there is a change in your agency's policies, please share this information with all of us. Sincerely, Jeff
