These equity education training materials were assembled and promoted by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) for the use of local school divisions in training their educators. However, following Gov. Youngkin’s Executive Order 1, Superintendent Jillian Balow ordered these links to be removed from the VDOE website on the grounds they “promote discriminatory and divisive concepts.” The Virginia Education Association thinks it is important for local school divisions and individual educators to have access to quality equity training materials, so we are making them available here as a public service.
The ONE Virginia Plan is focused on advancing inclusive excellence across the entire Commonwealth.
This plan outlines the priorities and goals of the Commonwealth as we cultivate and promote a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture where students, faculty, staff, and administrators feel welcomed and empowered.
According to a poll conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University, 66% of Virginians say public schools do not have enough funding to meet their needs.
