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.

Disagree with the need for a document like this
 

As the legislature requires this be created- The entire document can be eliminated and replaced with- Treat people with respect regardless of their background or identity. Then teachers can get to back to the fundamentals kids need to improve in reading and math.  I am appalled at the lack of rigorous expectations of our kids and how much time is spent on non academic things in school.
