In anticipation of additional action from the State Board of Education at the March Board meeting on the revisions of the Standards of Accreditation, with an intention of creating a school performance framework separate from accreditation, the Board is tentatively planning listening sessions in April across the Commonwealth to help facilitate public engagement to further the development of a school performance framework through Virginia’s Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) State Plan.
These listening sessions are intended to inform the Board and facilitate public input focused on the new school performance system. The sessions are being coordinated by the Hunt Institute, an independent, non-profit organization.
PARENTS, EDUCATORS, and INTERESTED CITIZENS are invited to attend and comment on their expectations for the new school performance framework. The listening session for REGION 8 (our region) will held on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3 at the Robert Russa Moton Museum. It will begin at 6:00 p.m. and end at 7:30 p.m.
