Governor Announces Legislative Agenda

On Monday, Governor McDonnell announced his K-12 education agenda.  Among the Governor's long list of education initiatives are the following:

• Repeal of the so-called "King's Dominion" law, which requires school divisions to start school after Labor day unless the division has applied for and received a waiver;
• Reducing the number of different high school diplomas from seven to three;
• Alternative licensure requirements for virtual school teachers;
• Moving from continuing contract sfor teachers to annual contracts; and
• "Streamlining" the grievance procedure.

Additional details on many of Governor's K-12 initiatives are not yet available.  We will provide more information as it becomes available.
