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.

No, totally opposed to CRT and CCT. Education excellence should be VDOE"s goal.

VDOE should be focused on promoting excellence, and real and equal opportunities to all students based on their performance. Race should not be the main subject to discuss in the schools. VDOE should aim to increase academic standards and offer equal ad real opportunities to all the students. This is real inclusion and educational equity.
