The Constitution of Virginia empowers the Virginia Board of Education (VBOE) with the general supervision of the public school system. This includes responsibility for (subject to General Assembly approval) the major regulations governing public education in Virginia, such as the Standards of Quality, the Standards Accreditation, the Standards of Learning accountability program, and teacher licensure regulations.
The Virginia Board of Education typically meets ten times a year (every month except August and December).
FCPS urges the Virginia Department of Education to reconvene experts in history and social sciences, and take additional actions to revise proposed standards.
