HB 1509 Standards for accreditation in public schools.
Introduced by: James H. Dillard II | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Standards for accreditation of public schools. Enacts into statute the Standards of Accreditation (SOA) regulations for accrediting public schools, except those provisions relating to staffing levels, family life education, and the option of employing guidance counselors or reading specialists in elementary schools. The measure incorporates the SOA revisions currently proposed for adoption by the Board of Education. Staffing levels as currently set forth in Standard 3 of the Standards of Quality remain unchanged. Various references to diploma requirements appearing in Standard 3 are moved to the codified SOA sections of the measure, and references to the SOA in the Code of Virginia are adjusted to indicate the new Code sections as appropriate.
A second enactment clause provides that references to "literacy tests" and the "Literacy Passport Tests" (LPT) in the codified SOA in this measure are not to be deemed to reinstitute the LPT requirement but shall be construed consistent with the phase-out of such tests effected pursuant to, legislation adopted by the 1998 Session.
