Curriculum revision sessions scheduled
Free Press staff report | 12/1/2022, 6 p.m.
After several delays, Virginia citizens may now share their thoughts about the future of the state’s standards for teaching history and social sciences.
The first community engagement sessions began Monday, Nov. 28 and will run until Friday, Dec. 16. Public hearings with the Board of Education will run between Monday, Jan. 9 and Friday, Jan. 13.
These public input options were shared weeks earlier, as con- troversy and revisions have continued to surround the proposed revisions for history and social standards in the state, including the alteration or removal of guidelines focused on the history and culture of Native Americans in the state, slavery as the root cause of the Civil War, and other changes.
