Maryland Delegate Valentino-Smith took time to confer with Conexus regarding pending Maryland legislation aimed at better tracking parental response to vision referrals stemming from school based screenings. Conexus shared the value and importance of comprehensive vision programs for schools and advised of the recent updates to § 22.1-273 of the Code of Virginia to include language referencing comprehensive vision programming. Delegate Valentino-Smith was interested to learn of Conexus’ work in Virginia and how our VisioCheck program would complement the efforts of her Bill. We will talk again in late summer to explore the potential of pilot programming in Maryland.
