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.

SEL and Critical Race Theory
 

Our children are failing at math, reading and basic science, yet I see our education system prefers to spend time indoctrinating children into theories that harm their psyche, demoralize and divide them.  Please teach reading, writing, math and kindness to our children.  And in the meantime, allow teachers to receive training that will help them teach our children instead of wasting their precious time on harmful ideologies.
