Regulations Governing Local School Boards and School Divisions [8 VAC 20 ‑ 720]
This action is part of the regulatory reform initiative.
Action:
Promulgate regulation; consolidate other select regulations related to local school boards
Action 2658
 
[Withdrawn 6/21/2022]
General Information
Action Summary The Regulations Governing School Boards Local, 8 VAC 20-490-10 et seq., were adopted on or before September 1, 1980. These regulations have not been amended since that time and are out of date. Additionally, several other regulations have been promulgated that address regulatory requirements for local school boards and school divisions. Some of these regulations were adopted on or about September 1, 1980 as well. They all lend themselves to consolidation with the Regulations Governing School Boards Local. This proposal is to promulgate a new regulation (8 VAC 20-720) governing local school boards and to incorporate the applicable regulatory requirements from other regulations, which will be repealed concurrent with the promulgation of the new regulation, so that local school boards and school divisions will have one regulation containing applicable regulatory requirements and will not have to look to several regulations for guidance.
