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 Divisivness

No! This is a divisive to children. In the 2nd grade me and my bestie would trade sandwiches on the playground. She was a little black girl. I didn’t know she was black until some smart $@$ teacher pulled me aside one day and said “quit trading sandwiches with that little black girl”and a few other words. That day changed my life and I hated her for it. She received a few choice words from my mother for sure. Please don’t don’t perpetuate this.
