8VAC20-390-80 provides:
"It shall be the duty of the division superintendent to visit and inspect each school
in his division. He shall inquire into all matters relating to the management of the
school, the course of study, method of instruction, and use of textbooks, and shall
give particular attention to the conditions of the school buildings."

by amending 8VAC20-390-80 to append the following paragraph:
The division superintendent shall document each such visit, setting forth the date(s)
and time(s) of the required visits and detailing the results of his inquiries. The
resulting records shall be kept as public records, subject to inspection under the
Freedom of Information Act. The division superintendent shall forward each year's
records to the Department within thirty days after the close of the fiscal year.
