State Board of Education

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.

No CRT needed in VA schools

I am speaking as someone who has professionally worked in and with the school system for over 30 years. I am also speaking as a grandmother and one who now volunteers to work with the children. There is a host of reasons that this would do harm to our children and staff. Many of those reasons have already been expressed on this forum. Please don't allow this CRT to get through OUR system.
