Things are a bit foggy right now. Schools were closed last week and this week to give teachers time to prepare for distance learning. But since I'm working with special education, things are more complicated and details haven't been worked out yet on things like due process paperwork, types of service, new referrals, etc. I know that I'll continue to work, even if my state calls for shelter in place...I just don't really know how exactly that will look.
I'm thankful to still have a job and a paycheck. But all this confusion is really increasing my mental health issues. I just want the best for my students and their families.

I've felt the same way. Grateful to still be working but also extremely stressed because of new situations. I'm a consultant so I work form home 90% of the time anyhow, but now all my colleagues are at home which means they are dealing with delays that they aren't normally. I think remote work is possible on a large scale, but we don't all have systems set up yet, so there are going to be some growing pains.
