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.

As a resident of Fairfax county I fully support this program to ensure that all teachers in our local public schools are teaching students, many of whom represent a number of cultures and backgrounds, are all well versed in cultural training as to not leave any students feeling unsafe at their place of learning. Ensuring that all students are safe and welcome in their schools is a priority because this is essential to learning.
