Elementary special education teachers in Henrico ‘stretched too thin’ by staffing shortage

Several teachers who spoke with the Citizen said that it is a challenge to teach students from different grade levels, who have different needs and levels of ability, in the same classroom – especially if there are not enough instructional assistants.
