State Board of Education

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.

NO to CRT

Please do NOT teach so-called "CRT" in the schools. I have taught public high school for years and routinely had HIGH SCHOOL students unable to know when to write "where" vs "were." Others were convinced the USA had 52 states-- claiming Alaska and Hawaii were 51 and 52. Schools need to focus on EDUCATING young people, not indoctrination.
