Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

Virginia Department of Education (“VDOE”) staff have identified certain guidance documents upon which the agency no longer relies, as well as documents that fall outside the definition of a “guidance document.” This action will remove documents from the list of guidance documents that the agency certifies as currently operative and makes available for public inspection on the Virginia Town Hall. By doing so, the agency will better serve stakeholders—including students, parents, teachers, and schools—and ensure that the Board's guidance is accurate and up-to-date and will avoid confusion about how statutes and regulations are interpreted and implemented.
