Youngkin administration eliminates VDOE’s equity initiatives
The first executive order Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed when he took office was to “end the use of inherently divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory, and to raise academic standards.”
Now more than a month later, his administration has defined some “divisive” concepts and has rescinded several policies, programs and resources that were published by the Virginia Department of Education.
Lawmakers again debate allowing home-schooled students to play public school sports
The Virginia state Senate could consider a bill to allow school boards to decide if home-schooled students in Virginia can join public school sports teams.
Del. Marie March, R-Floyd, introduced House Bill 511, which advanced on a narrow 50-49 vote. Two Republicans voted against the measure and one Democrat did not vote.
