[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typically vote Dem. I think CRT is a red herring. But:

Closed schools

Confusion and lack of leadership in Richmond on testing and quarantines. Why is FCPS 14 days and surrounding counties 7 plus test?  That’s a week of school.

TJ admissions standards

Teachers unionizing after getting first dibs on the vaxx, then trying not to go back

The use of a monitors in DD’s classroom while the vaxxed teacher taught from home last year

O Days!  And especially cancelling APs on O Days.

VMPI

AAP

Focusing on renaming closed schools and electric school buses and re-doing TJ at a time when they could get kids back

Still focusing on BS and no answers on indoor lunch [/quote]

So 99% local issues and one GOP talking point. Got it.

You clearly don't understand how state guidance and standards impact these decisions.[/quote]

They really don't.  It's been posted over and over how the VDOE reports to the Governor - and the VDOE is in charge of curriculum, among many other things.  [/quote]

They don't understand how education leads to the governor in Virginia, because they are not from Virginia and probably do not have kids.  They are from DC, MD or CA.[/quote]

I’m from VA and have two kids in public schools. The PP’s list above is 99% grievance with FCPS, not anything VDOE did.

You want the GOP to implement MORE regulation? LOL.

DP.  As has been stated repeatedly, the VDOE *DIRECTLY OVERSEES ALL LOCAL SCHOOL DIVISIONS*.  Luckily, the Board of Education consists of Governor-appointed members, so hopefully we'll be seeing a change soon.

Virginia’s Board of Education and Department of 
Education supervise Virginia’s K–12 system

The Virginia Board of Education is tasked with promulgating the state’s K–12 policy 
through regulations within the parameters of the Code of Virginia. The board consists 
of nine appointed members, and the superintendent of public instruction serves as 
the secretary of the board. Board members are appointed by the governor, subject to 
confirmation by the General Assembly, and serve four-year terms. Board members do 
not need specific qualifications (with the exception that at least two of the nine members “shall represent business and industry in the private sector”). VDOE provides 
staff support to the board and implements regulations and policies on its behalf.

VDOE, through the Virginia Board of Education, has the broad statutory direction to 
provide “general supervision of the public school system” and to conduct “proper and 
uniform enforcement of the provisions of the school laws in cooperation with the 
local school authorities.” In Virginia’s locally administered K–12 system, local school 
boards have supervisory authority over the operations and management of schools in 
their division (sidebar).
