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 is NOT the same as CRT
 

First of all, it is doubtful that CERT was ever taught in Rockbridge schools or than anyone ever planned to teach it. That said, cultural confidence has nothing to do with critical race theory. Why would we not want our educators to be called truly confident?
