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.

I recommend that this guidance document not be accepted

I believe this guidance document is a poor example of the needs we have today in education. Parents are disappointed in the learning process. There needs to be a return to the basics of math and memorization along with diagraming sentences for an English class. This guidance document dilutes the education process for learning.
