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.

Do Not Train or Teach on VIctim-based programs

This is not a teacher's job - the teacher should educate in reading, writing, math, history etc. The teacher should NOT push agendas - even if the teacher is for a cause - on children. These programs/approaches are creating a sense of victimhood where there is none. Do not - please DO NOT - do this to our children. They are the future. You will be responsible for making it more divisive, more hateful.
