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 Competence
 

Educators need to teach the fundamentals.   The children of Virginia are rapidly becoming unemployable and it is the responsibility of the Virginia Department of Education to insure our children are prepared for success.   Stop wasting the valuable opportunity that you have with our children promoting social and moral ideas that have been established by anyone other than their parent or legal guardian.   You job is to educate so do your job and educate our children in the areas that are required for their viability and independent living.  You are paid to do the job of educating our youth, you can parent your own children,  I will parent mine and likewise other parents will parent theirs.
