Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 22.1-209.01 as follows:
§ 22.1-209.01. School-to-work transition programs; Board regulations for program.
[ A. ] Effective on July 1, 1995, with such funds as may be
appropriated for this purpose, local school boards [ shall
may ] establish school-to-work transition programs for students
enrolled in the public schools of the school division in grades five through
twelve to prepare such students for postsecondary education eligibility,
employment, and advanced technical skills training. In developing such
programs, local school boards shall concentrate efforts on meeting the
particular academic needs of non-college bound students. However,
college-bound students shall be allowed to participate in the programs.
Local school boards shall develop appropriate interagency linkages with
public and private institutions of higher education, labor and industry
councils, the business community, rehabilitative services providers, and
employment and guidance services to assist such students in acquiring
necessary work habits, developing marketable skills, and identifying career
goals through a broad range of educational and career opportunities and
mentoring and apprenticeship programs.
[ B. The Board of Education shall promulgate regulations to be
effective on July 1, 1995, for the implementation of school-to-work
transition programs. ]
