concerns about proposed orientation standards changes
 

8VAC20-781-140 B “The orientation training must be completed by such staff prior to working alone with a child and within seven days of the staff member’s date of  employment”. This is not a new requirement but it is a burden. Part-time and substitute staff need more time. This is unrealistic and a burdensome requirement to put on an already struggling industry.
