+1000.

This is exactly what is happening.

The only person Youngkin replaced at VA-DOE was its head.

Dozens of people at VA-DOE have been working hard on VMPI for years (including one person responding repeatedly in this thread).

An initiative that large and developed does not simply “disappear,” especially when all those people who were working on it are still working at DOE.

VMPI is a specific initiative by VDOE that has been cancelled.

School districts may be changing their acceleration options but they did that before VMPI and will do it now that it’s dead. There is no current VDOE effort that is trying to eliminate advanced math/acceleration/tracking.

Can't stop gaslighting, huh?

The person you responded to appears to be the notorious VMPI troll.

What she is hiding is: VA DOE is attempting to surreptitiously implement as much of the VMPI revision ideas through the 2016 SOL revision this summer.

Everyone: use the input link posted by OP. Tell them you do not want math acceleration eliminated, watered-down, or “blended” in Virginia.

I am very passionate about this change and truly believe the only way to stop inequalities in mathematics education is to stop the tracking of students.

For now, at a very reduced level.
The county math curriculum staff want to eliminate prealgebra from 6th grade as well, and support detracking in math.
