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.

Cultural Competency is inclusive and necessary

I’m sure many folks on this commentary thread will spin out about CRT etc. for those who say is it is Un-American…America is a melting pot of many cultures. Students and their families deserve respect. Students want to see images and perspectives that are similar to their own. Please approve the culturally responsible curriculum.
