Napa Valley College Cancels Adaptive PE Class, Displacing Disabled Students
Napa Valley College has cancelled its adaptive physical education class, which served students with disabilities including elderly and mobility-impaired individuals who relied on it for rehabilitation and basic physical function. The cancellation has left participants, some of whom travelled significant distances to attend, searching for alternative programs. The class had been cited by attendees as critical to their physical health and independence.
