Question 3: We have a team of six in Florida currently conducting in-person group sessions at the

This experienced team is capable of offering virtual sessions, though the RFP states that "Virtual sessions may be allowed under extenuating circumstances if approved by the Community Corrections Program Coordinator." How likely is it that such approval will be granted?

Response 3: Approval for virtual sessions would be approved for situations such as a pandemic, facilitator death or illness or other similar extenuating circumstances.
