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.

Supporting CCT
 

I’d like to thank the board for supporting our teachers, and in turn the next generation of learners, for supporting CCT. The facts of the opposition are out of fear of not understanding there is no agenda behind education, but instead a greater worldview and grasp of empathy, cultural appreciation, and acceptance for more than ourselves. 

Your work is changing lives, thank you for standing for change.
