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.

This is NEEDED
 

As someone who went through k-12 schooling in both fcps and pecs this is absolutely needed. Both counties pride themselves on the diversity of their students yet do nothing to support and protect their black and brown students. This is the only way that we can reach equity, teachers who are majority white need to learn how to connect and best communicate with the poc students body.
