Regulations
 

I am a VAISEF member and Rivermont School - Tidewater is accredited by VAISEF.  I support the VAISEF statement.

671-380-C: The safety of our students is extremely important.  However, 3 tornado drills is too many.  It causes a distruption during the school day.  I believe 1 per semester would be appropriate.

671-370-A-2: Requiring that all classrooms need to be 50 square feet per person would be difficult to accommodate, especially for the schools that have already been established.  It would also be costly to change.  This could possibly be a requirement for schools that are being built.
