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.

Stop cultural competency training. Abolish the bills that require it. Our culture is American.

No teacher should be required to have cultural competency training. What is out culture? It's American culture. And we are all competent in it. Abolish House Bill 1904 and Senate Bill 1196 that require cultural competency training. CRT in any form or hidden under any name should not be taught in schools and will be outlawed with the Youngkin administration.
