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.

EDUCATORS ARE MORE THAN JUST TEACHERS - YES TO CCT
 

Yes, educators main purpose is to teach. But there are given the responsibility to also raise kids. They teach our kids between right and wrong, developing their morals. Yes, they are teachers, but they are more than that. They have more responsibility than given in their traditional job description, and it's time for us to realize that. CCT is absolutely necessary in making our educators more aware of all the different cultures that the U.S. fosters. Please keep this training.
