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.

Culturally Responsive Education for the Educators

Do not go toward this very ‘Racist’ and against the law format of Culturally Responsive Training to indoctrinate our children by forcing teachers to teach something they aren’t qualified to teach. PLEASE focus on education and give the children the tools to learn to make their own decisions in the future.
