Executive Summary
Senate Joint Resolution 10 (SJR 10), passed during the 2022 legislative session, established the
Joint Subcommittee to Study Pandemic Response and Preparedness in the Commonwealth (the
Joint Subcommittee). The Joint Subcommittee was tasked with examining existing laws in the
Commonwealth and developing recommendations regarding the pandemic response and future
needs of the Governor, the General Assembly, local governments, public and private health care
systems and other facilities and providers, health districts, the judicial system, K-12 and higher
education systems, and the business regulatory system. SJR 10 also provided for approximately
$300,000 to pay for consulting services and initially required the Joint Subcommittee to
complete its work by September 1, 2023. To better carry out its charge, the Joint Subcommittee
organized itself into the following subject matter subcommittees:
Subcommittee #1 Government and Regulatory Systems
1) Scope of the Governor's power
2) General Assembly and local governments
3) Judicial system
4) Meeting rules: Freedom of Information Act; common interest communities; corporate
entities; and the business regulatory system
Subcommittee #2 Health Care Systems and Emergency Management
1) Public and private health care systems
2) Emergency management and public health care systems
Subcommittee #3 Education
K-12 and higher education systems and the need to develop future emergency plans to
facilitate better responsiveness.
On January 12, 2024, the Joint Subcommittee contracted with Tidal Basin Government
Consulting, LLC (Tidal Basin) to deliver an After Action Report (AAR). Between January and
September 2024, Tidal Basin developed the AAR, which included reviewing 250 documents and
429 survey responses from individuals who were engaged in the Commonwealth's responses to
the pandemic between 2020 and 2023 and conducting 47 interviews with individuals
representing 19 state agencies and partner organizations. In addition, as a component of the
study, a public survey was posted on the Joint Subcommittee's website between August 5, 2024,
and September 30, 2024, allowing the community to share comments and questions with the
Joint Subcommittee related to the Commonwealth's response to the pandemic. A total of 432
responses were received, representing all regions of the Commonwealth.
On September 30, 2025, Tidal Basin submitted the initial AAR to the Joint Subcommittee. The
report organized its observations into 12 focus areas generated from data collected relating to the
Commonwealth's response to the pandemic through document analysis, surveys, and interviews.
The focus areas are as follows:
1. Business Continuity and Continuity of Operations
2. Communications
3. Education
4. Financial Management
iii
5. Judicial/Policy/Regulatory
6. Logistics
7. Operations
8. Planning
9. Public Health/Local Health Districts
10. Public-Private Partnerships
11. Technology
12. Volunteer and Donations Coordination
From the observations, Tidal Basin developed a total of 58 recommendations. The observations
and the attendant recommendations were assigned to each of the subject matter subcommittees
for review. Prior to that review, staff of the Division of Legislative Services developed a range of
policy options for each recommendation for the subcommittees to consider. The three
subcommittees met during October 2024 to determine which recommendations to present to the
full Joint Subcommittee for approval.
Subcommittee #1 Government and Regulatory Systems
A total of 21 recommendations and 35 policy options were assigned to this subcommittee.
Upon review of the recommendations and policy options, the subcommittee voted to
recommend six legislative actions, four requests to state agencies to perform additional
review, and one budget amendment.
Subcommittee #2 Health Care Systems and Emergency Management
This subcommittee was assigned a total of 31 recommendations and 91 policy options. Upon
review of the recommendations and policy options, the subcommittee voted to recommend
six legislative actions, one request to a state agency to perform additional review, two budget
amendments, and 19 best practice recommendations.
Subcommittee #3 Education
This subcommittee was assigned a total of six recommendations and 13 policy options.
Upon review of the recommendations and policy options, the subcommittee voted to
recommend four legislative actions and one budget amendment.
Conclusion
The Joint Subcommittee met on January 6, 2025, to receive the recommendations from each of
the subcommittees. Members voted unanimously to adopt each subcommittee's range of action
items. After establishing the final package of recommendations for legislation, additional study,
and budget amendments, the Joint Subcommittee concluded its work.

Informational Meeting - December 19, 2023
Richmond, Virginia
The Joint Subcommittee met in Richmond with Delegate R. Lee Ware, co-chair, presiding. The
meeting commenced with roll call and introductions, followed by updates of the ongoing study, a
presentation, and ensuing discussion. Because a quorum was not in attendance, the Joint
Subcommittee was unable to vote on action items.
Pandemic Response and Preparedness Study Update
Amigo Wade, Director, DLS
Mr. Wade provided an update on the pandemic response and preparedness study, highlighting
developments since the Joint Subcommittee's last meeting. Notably, the deadline for the after
action report was extended to September 1, 2024, with the accompanied funding. Additionally,
DLS issued a request for information to procure consultants through DLS's website and Virginia's
eVA Marketplace, with Tidal Basin Government Consulting, LLC (Tidal Basin) being the sole
respondent. Mr. Wade also secured an exemption from the Public Procurement Act for the Joint
Subcommittee in regard to the hiring of a consultant, which was signed by the Speaker of the
House, Speaker C. Todd Gilbert, and the Chair of the Senate Committee on Rules, Senator Mamie
E. Locke.
Presentation and Discussion: Overview of After Action Review and Services
Stephanie Murphy, Certified Emergency Manager, Tidal Basin Government Consulting, LLC
Ms. Murphy gave a presentation in which she outlined Tidal Basin's capabilities in providing after
action reviews and related services to study the Commonwealth's pandemic response and
preparedness, emphasizing emergency management, preparedness, and resiliency. She detailed the
process of an in-depth after action study, including recommended timelines, execution strategies,
and expectations from the Joint Subcommittee.
During the presentation, Joint Subcommittee members posed questions and suggestions to Ms.
Murphy. Senator Favola emphasized the importance of examining local level processes when
identifying potential study areas, particularly regarding infrastructure, staffing, and leadership in
public health departments. Delegate Orrock raised concerns of cultural and political biases, to
which Ms. Murphy responded by assuring objectivity through external consultancy, a process that
creates space for Tidal Basin to look at trends in a general sense and allows for recommendations
to address the potential gaps and sensitivities in their after action report. Secretary Hade and
Delegate Ware expressed interest in understanding the impact of the pandemic on the judicial
system.

Meeting #2 - January 9, 2024
Richmond, Virginia
The Joint Subcommittee met in Richmond with Senator Scott A. Surovell, co-chair, presiding. The
meeting commenced with roll call, followed by an update of the procurement status and a follow-
up presentation from the consultant candidate.
Procurement Status Update
Amigo Wade, Director, DLS
Due to a quorum not being present for the Joint Subcommittee's December 2023 meeting, Mr.
Wade reiterated the update provided for the pandemic response and preparedness study. He once
again highlighted the developments that took place after the Joint Subcommittee's first meeting.
Additionally, Mr. Wade detailed the action items that needed to take place during the meeting,
which included requesting an extension of the study from September 1, 2024, to December 1,
2024, finalizing the procurement of a consultant, and delegating authority to Mr. Wade and the co-
chairs to act on the behalf of the Joint Subcommittee.
Presentation and Discussion: Overview of After Action Review and Services
Stephanie Murphy, Certified Emergency Manager, Tidal Basin
Ms. Murphy offered an updated presentation, emphasizing Tidal Basin's suitability for the study.
She outlined similar topics from the Joint Subcommittee's December 2023 meeting. Ms. Murphy
also focused on the different subcommittees the Joint Subcommittee adopted, listing pre-identified
topics such as the performance of the judicial system and the development of future emergency
plans to facilitate better responsiveness and decision-making by local health districts during
pandemics. She also provided the members with an overview of potential project timelines,
whether nine months or 12 months, and touched on the importance of the extension Mr. Wade had
mentioned earlier.
During the presentation, Joint Subcommittee members posed further questions and suggestions to
Ms. Murphy. Senator Favola expressed the importance of understanding the Commonwealth's role
across localities and briefly explained relationships between the Commonwealth and local health
departments. She also suggested the Joint Subcommittee engage the local health departments as
potential co-sponsors for the public hearings. Senator Surovell urged Ms. Murphy to consider how
the Joint Subcommittee could hold public hearings to receive public input and where that may fall
in the timeline. Ms. Murphy also discussed the scope of the study, which aims to examine the time
period from the first declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic to the declaration of the pandemic
ending, including the recovery efforts that took place during that time period. Members of the Joint
Subcommittee also urged Tidal Basin to consider the recovery efforts undertaken after the
declaration of the end of the pandemic.
Action Items
The Joint Subcommittee moved to proceed with Tidal Basin as the procured consultant for the
pandemic and preparedness response study and delegated authority to execute the contract and act
on behalf of the Joint Subcommittee to Mr. Wade and co-chairs Senator Surovell and Delegate
Ware. The members also voted unanimously to request to extend the study for three months, from
September 1, 2024, to December 1, 2024, to allow for a comprehensive and in-depth data analysis
from Tidal Basin, public input, and further discussion from the Joint Subcommittee.

Meeting #3 - May 6, 2024
Richmond, Virginia
The Joint Subcommittee met with Senator Scott A. Surovell, co-chair, presiding. The meeting
began with introductions and opening remarks followed by the election of co-chairs, presentations,
subcommittee assignments, and discussion.
Election of Co-chairs
Due to the restructuring of the Joint Subcommittee, members were tasked with electing co-chairs
from among their membership. The Joint Subcommittee unanimously elected Senator Surovell
and Delegate Candi Mundon King as co-chairs after a brief interjection from Senator David R.
Suetterlein, who said that he believed bipartisan leadership would be more beneficial to the Joint
Subcommittee.
Pandemic Response and Preparedness Study Update
Amigo Wade, Director, Division of Legislative Services
Mr. Wade provided an update on the pandemic response and preparedness study, including
previous actions taken by the Joint Subcommittee. He reiterated the deadline for the after action
report and explained that a new deadline of December 1, 2024, was anticipated with the expected
passage of HB 6001 (Torian, 2024 Special Session I).
Presentation and Discussion: After Action Review and Services Status Update
Michelle Burnett, Assistant Vice President, Resilience, Mitigation and Policy, Tidal Basin
Government Consulting (Tidal Basin), LLC
Ms. Burnett provided the Joint Subcommittee with an overview of Tidal Basin's progress on the
Joint Subcommittee's tasked study. She explained that it has completed part of phase one of the
provided project tasks and deliverables and is currently working on phase two. In phase two,
Tidal Basin has completed the documentation gathering period and is currently deploying
surveys, conducting interviews with key leaders and stakeholders, and analyzing obtained data.
Ms. Burnett outlined next steps for the Joint Subcommittee's study, which include developing a
draft outline of the after action report for the Joint Subcommittee's approval.
Joint Subcommittee members inquired about the stakeholder groups that have been identified,
surveyed, and interviewed as well as what other states have done and are doing related to
pandemic response and preparedness. Ms. Burnett stated that Tidal Basin will provide a list of
the stakeholder groups and affiliations it has received and added that the practices from other
states will automatically apply to its final recommendations due to the information it has taken
away from other studies.

Business Continuity and Continuity of Operations
1.2.1 Develop a centralized Continuity of Operations framework for state agencies.
Policy Options
1) Budget language or Code language requiring DHRM or VDEM to develop a centralized
Continuity of Operations framework for state agencies and require regular review and update
every 5 years.
Subcommittee consensus: No action.
2) Section 44-146.18 of the Code of Virginia establishes the powers and duties of the
Department of Emergency Management. This section could be amended to add a provision
requiring the Department to establish a centralized framework for continuity of operations across
all state agencies, mandating the creation and regular updating of agency-specific continuity
plans. The framework would include all other components of this recommendation.
Subcommittee consensus: No action.
3) Alternatively, legislation could be introduced directing the Secretary of Public Safety and
Homeland Security to convene a work group consisting of relevant stakeholders to develop a
centralized Continuity of Operations framework for state agencies. The legislation could either
authorize the framework to be implemented by the Department of Emergency Management or
provide for the work group to make recommendations to the General Assembly for
implementation
Subcommittee consensus: Legislation directing the Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland
Security to convene a work group consisting of relevant stakeholders to study the feasibility of
establishing develop a centralized Continuity of Operations framework for state agencies. The
work group will report its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly by November
1, 2025.
1.2.2 Enhance digital infrastructure and automation.
Policy Options
1) Section 2.2-205.2 of the Code of Virginia establishes the Commonwealth Broadband Chief
Advisor within the office of the Secretary of Commerce and Trade to serve as the state's single
point of contact and integration for broadband issues, efforts, and initiatives. This section could
be amended to direct the Commonwealth Broadband Chief Advisor to develop, in consultation
with the Broadband Advisory Council, the Virginia Information Technologies Agency, and the
Department of Housing and Community Development, a strategic broadband investment plan
for (i) expanding broadband access in underserved areas and (ii) upgrading the state's digital
76
infrastructure investment. The legislation would require the strategic plan to include specific
funding initiatives consisting of state budget requests as well as private sources.
2) Section 56-585.1:9 of the Code of Virginia requires the State Corporation Commission to
establish pilot programs under which Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power may submit a
petition to provide or make available broadband capacity to nongovernmental Internet service
providers in areas of the Commonwealth that are unserved by broadband. The General
Assembly made the pilot program permanent in 2021. This section could be amended to require
the Commission to review the program and recommend incentives to the General Assembly to
increase the number of utilities that submit petitions to provide or make available broadband
capacity in areas of the Commonwealth unserved by broadband.
3) Alternatively, the Joint Subcommittee may wish to consider budget language to support long-
term investment in expanding broadband access and upgrading state digital infrastructure
Subcommittee consensus: Letter from the Joint Subcommittee to the Commonwealth
Broadband Chief Advisor and the Broadband Advisory Council to study Observation 1.2 and
Recommendation 1.2.2 and provide recommendations for legislation, if appropriate.
1.3.1 Establish consistent statewide telework policies for all state agencies.
Policy Options
1) Amend the Code to establish a centralized telework policy for state agencies.
2) Section 2.2-203.1 of the Code of Virginia provides for the Secretary of Administration to
establish a comprehensive statewide telecommuting and alternative work schedule policy and to
update such policy as necessary. This section could be amended to require review of the
policies to ensure that they include (i) clear criteria for determining which roles require in-person
work, (ii) guidelines for hybrid work arrangements, and (iii) transparent communication to reduce
confusion.

November 26, 2024
Report
Business Continuity and Continuity of Operations
1.1.1 Expand access to mental health resources.
Policy Options

systems should develop proactive mental health support systems that are continuously
available. This includes routine mental health check-ins, peer support groups, and
integrating mental health services as part of daily operations.
Subcommittee consensus: Best practice recommendation.
2) Resilience Training: Provide resilience and stress-management training for healthcare
staff, equipping them with coping mechanisms to handle the intense pressures of their
roles during emergencies.
Subcommittee consensus: Best practice recommendation.
3) Increased funding for mental health services will likely be required to carry forward this
recommendation, necessitating a budget amendment. Legislation could be introduced
directing the Commissioner of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services or the
Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to conduct a review of the
mental health services and funding needs and report back to the General Assembly.
Subcommittee consensus: No action.
4) Legislation could be introduced to expand existing programs coupled with budget
amendments sufficient to fund such program expansions.(Examples of existing programs
were provided)
Subcommittee consensus: No action.

time and dates when future guidance calls or memos will be available.
Subcommittee consensus: No action.
127
3) Section 44-146.18 of the Code of Virginia could be amended or, alternatively, a separate
section could be created within Chapter 3.2 of Title 44 of the Code of Virginia, directing the
Department of Emergency Management to require the establishment of the previously
mentioned work group that would contain language requiring the work group to develop a
framework for decision-making at its first meeting. Additionally, the statute could contain a
requirement that a quorum of members be present in order for decisions to be effectual.
Subcommittee consensus: No action.
4) Alternatively, legislation could be introduced directing the Secretary of Public Safety and
Homeland Security or the Department of Emergency Management to convene a work
group to pre-establish the health equity work group's structure, protocols for decision-
making within the group, and a rapid response framework that could be implemented in
times of emergency.
Subcommittee consensus: No action.

establish mentor teacher programs to utilize "specially trained public school teachers
as mentors to provide assistance and professional support to teachers entering the
profession." This section could be amended in a manner that, similar to the above
recommendation, expands the mentor teacher program to include an ongoing mental
health support program or system for teachers.
Subcommittee consensus: Consider legislation amending § 22.1-305 of the Code
of Virginia providing for the Board of Education to expand the mentor teacher
program to include an ongoing mental health support program or system for teachers
from a staff support perspective.
Chair Recommendation: Consider enrolling this policy option into legislation from
policy option 3.1.1 (b)(1)
3.1.2 Establish community advisory boards and engage local leaders.
Policy Options
1) Any of the following sections of the Code of Virginia could be used as a basis to
expand collaboration, consultation, and cooperation between various stakeholders in
order to expand the accessibility and availability of mental health information,
supports, and resources in education:
Section 22.1-298.6 permits each school board, in providing the mental health
awareness training required of all teachers and other relevant personnel pursuant to
the section, to "contract with other entities to provide such training."
Section 22.1-199.7, which relates to community schools, requires the Department
of Education to establish a task force for the purpose of "developing a program for the
establishment of community schools whereby public elementary and secondary
173
schools serve as centers for the provision of such community programs and services
to students and their families.
Section 22.1-211.1 establishes the Community Builders Pilot Program for the
purpose of reducing youth involvement in behaviors that lead to gun violence and
increasing community engagement among public school students in Roanoke City
Public Schools and Petersburg City Public Schools.
Subcommittee consensus: No action.
2) In addition, Section 22.1-275.1 of the Code of Virginia permits each school board to
establish a school health advisory board of no more than 20 members and consisting
of broad-based community representation. This section could serve as a model to add
a provision requiring each school board to establish a school mental health advisory
board. In addition, this provision could be amended to be mandatory rather than
permissive and expanded to include representation from mental health professionals
and mental health resources
Subcommittee consensus: No action.
3.1.3 Propose strategies for hybrid learning models and mental health
initiatives.
Policy Options
1) Several provisions of the Code of Virginia currently address, partially or fully, virtual
education and mental health services, including the following:
Section 22.1-272.2 provides for the Department of Education to develop, adopt,
and distribute to each school board a model memorandum of understanding between
a school board and either a public or private community mental health services
provider or a nationally recognized school-based telehealth provider that sets forth
parameters for the provision of mental health services to public school students
enrolled in the local school division by such provider.
Article 1.4 (§ 22.1-212.23 et seq.) of Chapter 13 of Title 22.1 provides for the
establishment of virtual school programs.
Section 22.1-212.2 requires the Department of Education to establish and make
available to every public high school in Virginia a "statewide electronic classroom to
be known as the Virtual Virginia Program."
2) Absent additional specification, one approach to this recommendation could be
legislation directing the Department of Education or Board of Education to draft, make
available to each school board and parent, and post on its website guidelines and
information relating to virtual learning, including (i) statewide policies relating to virtual
learning, (ii) the availability of online or virtual learning options and pertinent
information on such options, and (iii) guidelines for educators and schools relating to
online or virtual learning policies and best practices.
174
Subcommittee consensus: Legislation directing the Department of Education to
develop and post on its website guidelines and information relating to virtual learning,
including (i) statewide policies relating to virtual learning, (ii) the availability of online
or virtual learning options and pertinent information on such options, and (iii)
guidelines for educators and schools relating to online or virtual learning policies and
best practices. These guidelines are to be updated annually and made available each
school board for distribution to parents.
3.2.1 Strengthen communication and public information strategies.
Policy Options
1) Legislation from the 2024 Regular Session of the General Assembly, SB 220
(Favola) and HB 1089 (Coyner), is relevant in this area. These bills established the
Virginia IEP, an individualized education program {IEP ) writing, facilitation, tracking,
and transfer system that is available to each school board and "includes, at a
minimum, an IEP template component and a data system component." This program
could serve as an example for the creation of a statewide or school division-wide
information system. SB 220 and HB 1089 could serve as a basis for legislation
requiring the development, implementation, and maintenance of such a statewide
information system. A budget amendment may be necessary to cover the cost of
establishing such an information system.
Subcommittee consensus: Discuss this policy option further.
Chair Recommendation: Budget amendment supporting the funding of IEP training
and implementation. Referencing the Joint Subcommittee on Elementary and
Secondary Education - JLARC estimates $8. 7 million to support special education
staffing needs for Level I Services
2) The following are examples of relevant legislation from other states that could help
more specifically tailor such an information system:
Maryland's HB 1276 (Attar, 2022) established the Baltimore City Youth Data Hub
as an "integrated, electronic data management system" to link data about youth from
any provider for "the purpose of promoting well-being of youth."
California's 2020 $10 million budget amendment allocated funds for the creation
of an integrated education data system.
Subcommittee consensus: No action.
3.2.2 Create and maintain legal guidance and support networks.
Policy Options
The lack of existing legislation, either introduced in the Commonwealth or other states,
highlights the difficulties of developing, implementing, and maintaining such a
complex, costly legal advisory network on such a wide scale and an ongoing, real
time and on-demand basis. The development and maintenance costs of such a
network would require large amounts of funding, and the recommendation's
suggestion that such network include the provision of "real-time" and swift legal
175
guidance from legal experts to any school board would require additional, ongoing
funding.
All of these factors make it difficult to provide any more concrete recommendations or
suggestions beyond speculation about difficulties and costs.
Subcommittee Discussion: No action.
3.2.3 Develop comprehensive plans for school closures.
Policy Options
Section 22.1-98 of the Code of Virginia provides certain criteria under which the
amount paid to any school division by the Commonwealth from the Basic School Aid
Fund shall not be reduced "in any case in which severe weather conditions or other
emergency situations result in the closing of a school or the schools in a school
division or in an unscheduled remote learning day for a school or the schools in a
school division." Section 22.1-2.1 of the Code of Virginia includes provisions relating
to the requirement of in-person instruction.
Legislation could be introduced directing the Department of Education to develop,
make available to each school board, and post on its website in a publicly accessible
location comprehensive and uniform guidelines relating to school closures due to
severe weather, public health emergencies, etc.
Such legislation could be similar to SB 431 (Dunnavant, 2022), which required the
Department of Education, in collaboration with the Department of Health, to (i)
recommend options for isolation and quarantine for students and employees at public
schools who contract or are exposed to COVID-19 and (ii) develop guidelines for such
schools and recommend such guidelines for use as an alternative to quarantine.
Subcommittee consensus: Discuss the options further in the context of the
additional information requested from the Secretary of Education (response attached).
Chair Recommendation: Legislation amending§ 22.1-98 of the Code of Virginia to
require that all schools in Virginia include in their annual safety audits, comprehensive
plans for school closures due to public health emergencies.
