School PD Requirements in Virginia
What professional development requirements does a school in Virginia need to meet?
The Board of Education will issue guidelines for bi-annual cultural competency training by December 31, 2021. School Boards must adopt local policies to require individuals employed by the divisions and licensed by the Board of Education to take cultural competency training once every 2 years. Qualifying staff must take the training for the first time by the start of the 2022-2023 school year.
Under the state law, only those individuals who are both employed by a division and a licensed staff are required to take the cultural competency training; However, school divisions should carefully consider who else in their buildings would benefit from the training. Local policies can be adapted to cover additional individuals.
