Guidance Document Change: In 2021, the Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 1904 and Senate Bill 1196, and was signed into law by Governor Northam. The law establishes new requirements to support culturally competent educators in the Commonwealth. The Guidance on Cultural Competency Training for Teachers and Other Licensed School Board Employees in Virginia Public Schools was developed for the Board to fulfill the statutory mandate to provide guidance on the minimum standards for the local training requirement.

Guidance Document
 

The document and proposed policy as drafted continues the push of current social trends to create and define characteristics of individuals that allow them to be isolated and addressed according to policy. These types of policies are re-writes of segregationist policy and doctrine from sixty or more years ago. Implementing racism while stating the current system is racist is simply Orwellian double-speak.
