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.

Vote no - this is a breach of trust and dereliction of responsibility as educators

This policy and training is clearly not offered in good faith. What presents itself in as positive community building is in reality a standardized system of ideological indoctrination of our children. It would be a dereliction of the responsibilities of teachers and administrators for this material to be applied in our school.

Focus on the core of education and leave the political and ideological preferences out of it.
