Our Lady of Good Counsel School (OLGC), Vienna, VA has been given a grant from Porto Charities, Inc. to employ Ms. Celeste Fernandes as an instructional assistant. Ms. Celeste will start on Tuesday, November 12, 2019 and work this school year with Ms. Pearson in 3rd grade, room 6.
Bishop Ireton High School, Alexandria, VA developed a position specifically to help move Ireton into a fully inclusive environment, providing a high-quality Catholic education to all students, including those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The move toward inclusion has been a topic of planning for multiple years at Bishop Ireton and is one championed by Bishop Burbidge as well as our current administrative team.

People with intellectual disabilities already are welcomed at five diocesan schools, but a nonprofit organization hopes all diocesan schools will provide comprehensive special education services.
