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.

Let kids be kids
 

If you watch children in their natural form, they don’t separate themselves by who looks like them. They play with whoever they enjoy  in THAT moment. The saddest part of this is how you’re trying to separate a natural tendency which is to see people for PEOPLE and not for how they look. We can’t control how we look. Please go back to what I learned in school and at home: “treat people the way you want to be treated.”  That is it!
