Youngkin offers telework consideration for workers with children

“As Memorial Day heralds summer, parents who work as state employees are scrambling for child care options under an impending deadline to comply with a new policy Gov. Glenn Youngkin imposed to push the state workforce back into the office after the 27-month-old COVID-19 pandemic drove them out.”
