Two years after COVID closures started, only 59 students out of FCPS’s over one hundred eighty thousand (180,000+) students have recovery services in their current IEPs.
“Currently, there are 59 students with recovery services on their current IEP.”

Fifty-nine (59) students out of FCPS’s over one hundred eighty thousand (180,000+) students have recovery services in their IEPs.

Nope. It’s real.
