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 to cultural competency training!
 

In order for this country to progress positively, cultural competency training is highly needed. The Curriculum has always only benefitted white students and erases so much of this country’s true history. CCT needs to be implemented for the sake and security of black, indigenous, students of color. Our school systems cannot continue to make bipoc students feel unsafe.
