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.

How about you focus on teaching reading, writing and arithmetic

Education in this state has significantly decreased over the years , particularly in my county because so much attention has been focused on CRT and such instead of focusing on what is really important. Teachers should simply teach children how to read, write, do math, and especially HOW TO THINK critically, not what to think. Literacy curriculum and math curriculum is woefully inadequate.
