Who is this for? 8VAC20-781-70 C 4
 

The proposed regulation 8VAC20-781-70 C 4's language around reporting to school authorities when a child wanders away from a group is an unnecessary extra step for teachers who are busy with teaching. This is information that is best kept between caregivers such as parents and teachers, and the student involved. This change will not help anyone chase down a child playing hide-and-seek nor will it help us explain to the child why this is unsafe. Please reconsider this proposed legislation.
