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.

Yes It is about time we were considerate

We need to respect all cultures by not saying things like slaves this hurts all people. What is CRT? I looked it up because everyone is writing it and learned it is a legal theory used in legal cases. We should not teach legal theory but there is a need for the standard my kids want to enjoy school without learning how horrible events were. Teach with consideration of your students.
