Oppose
 

I agree with most of the comments and oppose this change. Virginia has been ahead of the game by making their CE requirements friendly to ODs. It would be a move backwards to require in-person CE when the quality of online CE and present day technology don't require it. Also, working moms often don't have this extra time to spare.
