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.

I approve.

This is crucial to the upbringing of this generations education to stop promoting colonized and white-washed history. To instead discuss the reality and brutality of imperialism which serves to educate our younger generations on how to denounce racist practices in our current society, and fight for equality for all from a true understanding of historical events/reality.
