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.

We must stop pitting our children against one another.

We need to focus on education in out schools. We must stop clearly defining for the kids a racist outlook that pits children against each other. Telling one kid he is a victim and one his is an oppressor based solely on skin color is the basic definition of racism. Stop the insanity and let’s get back to educating our children!
