Commenter: D'oh! Is The Proposed Change in Error?

Repealing ALL Requirements For School Division Superintendents???
 

Are We Proposing that ALL Requirements for a School Division Superintendent are Eliminated?

Its bad enough with the nepotism and conflicts of interests throughout Virginia, but NO Qualifications? Far worse...One of the problems in Virginia Education is we either have the 'indoctrinated' crowd and/or the intentionally negligently uninformed crowd chronically

in important positions funded with Taxpayer funds. Which is just one reason why Virginia Public Education has been completely failing our children, as the Board has admitted on numerous occasions itself.

Oppose
 

The version seems to remove the entire section regarding requirements for all superintendents.

Is this accurate or in error?

Illogical policies
 

Every teacher, specialist, administrator, and superintendent must be highly qualified and knowledgeable to handle the school system. More than ever before since 2021, schools lack transparency, accountability, high standards, and integrity to ensure students are treated fairly instead blaming gender, race, and religion. Many inappropriate behaviors are tolerated or ignored by the school systems. Money spent on making schools a prison with on metal detectors doesn’t correct the poor behaviors of those students. Stop lowing standards, teaching equity, and making our kids be enablers. The home is the foundation and must be honored.
