State Board of Education

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. Sincerely, Black child who grew up in the system.

Please don’t let shallow people who are too afraid for the real truths to come to light hinder this policy. We need this to be enacted so our next generation and the future of this country isn’t full of people like them. People that are too afraid to admit the wrongdoings in history & would rather bury them then right their wrongs. We should all be more aware of racial issues so they can be fixed and we can move on and unite as one.
