[NAGDU] Status of Guide Dog Schools

[Danielle Sykora]

GDF postponed classes preemptively, quite a while before NY was on lockdown. I don’t believe there were classes in session at the time, or at least they didn’t say anything about current GDF/AVD classes being impacted in the email they sent out outlining the precautionary measures they were taking. Seeing Eye also postponed classes before NJ was on lockdown, so again not sure they had to cut class short.

At GDA, the graduation is pretty much the end of their program and the last week is just review and reinforcement..?? There's nothing on their web site since the March 12 public statement.
