[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see from the threads that youngkin will be working on policies related to public education - though not clear what his vision is. What other policies will he be focused on?[/quote]

You are not clear as this man has absolutely no authority over curriculum,  unions,  teachers,  or anything.  We all know this. [/quote]

You sure about that?  The governor appoints the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to the Virginia Department of Education.  This person (currently James F. Lane) also serves as secretary of the state Board of Education.  Under the superintendent are various other agency leadership positions - who all report to the governor.  These are a couple, for instance:

Division of School Quality, Instruction, and Performance – Donald Fairheart,  Deputy Superintendent and Chief of Staff
The Division of School Quality, Instruction, and Performance leads the Department’s strategic initiatives to advance equitable student outcomes and comprehensive school quality.  Through tailored support to schools, the division implements Virginia’s continuous school quality and improvement interventions.   Additionally, the division leads the Department’s efforts aimed at advancing equity, closing achievement gaps, coordinating stakeholder engagement, and managing external communications and outreach strategies.  Finally, the Division is responsible for supporting the implementation of Virginia’s Standards of Learning, strengthening curriculum resources, supporting best practices in pedagogy and providing technical assistance to teachers and schools.

Department of Policy, Equity, and Communications – Holly Coy, Assistant Superintendent
The mission of the Department of Policy, Equity, and Communications is to assist the Virginia Board of Education, the governor and the General Assembly in the development of legislation, regulations, and policies that promote student learning and achievement and to provide timely and accurate information about public education in the commonwealth. Department staff serve as liaison to the Board, and support the Board in promoting education reform. The department monitors federal policies and refers them to other divisions for oversight. The department maintains working relationships with the news media, educational organizations, and school divisions to ensure timely distributing of accurate information concerning the Board of Education policies and the Agency actions.
