Effective July 1, 2021, the Board of Education is responsible for establishing a unified public-private system for early childhood care and education (ECCE) in the Commonwealth, to be implemented by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE). Chapters 860 and 861 of the 2020 Acts of the General Assembly require regulations governing the implementation and oversight of ECCE programs to be transferred from the Board of Social Services to the Board of Education.

The Board’s initial actions to adopt these regulations with “necessary amendments” are exempt from Article 2 (§2.2-4006 et seq.) of Chapter 40 of Title 2.2 of the Code of Virginia. Necessary amendments for the purposes of this exempt action include: 1) Renumbering; 2) Changing references from the Board of Social Services to the Board of Education; 3) Changing code references and descriptions; 4) Striking regulations specific to adult care programs and child welfare programs; and 5) Striking regulations related to child support enforcement pursuant to § 63.2-1911.
