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.

Insufficient information
 

I find Domains 1-4 lacking any credible information. These are only headers that who knows what policies will be put into place under. Aside from that I find the need for this totally unnecessary. What we need in this country is a return to moral values, importance but upon the family unit and sanctity of life. This country is in a downward spiral due to a lack of these very issues. As for how we treat others, there are two very simple practices; one taught by God…treat others the way you want to be treated. The other by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; and that is to judge one by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin. Teachers should teach subjects period. It is up to parents to set the principles that their children are raised on, not the schools.
