Prince William County Schools (PWCS) submits this comment in opposition to a proposed change to 8 VAC 20-390-80 to require that a record be made of a division superintendent’s visit to, and inspection of, each school within the division.  PWCS is in full agreement with the comments submitted by the Orange County and Clarke County Public Schools and particularly those by Orange County relating to the impractical burden such a reporting requirement would place upon larger school divisions.  Further, the Virginia Department of Education has made a concerted effort in recent years to reduce the reporting requirements placed upon school divisions.  Adoption of the proposed change to 8 VAC 20-390-80 would be counterproductive by adding a needless additional reporting requirement.  PWCS asks that the Virginia Board of Education reject the petitioner’s request.
