Click Here to Visit our Sponsor EDUCATION Public Schools - In 1846 Virginia added public free schools by local option to its system of numerous private schools supplemented by state aid to "indigent" pupils. The statewide system began in 1870. Sparseness of population, lack of funds, and duplication of effort due to segregation long hampered its development. But the 20th century brought relief, enabling Virginia to consolidate its schools and to greatly improve standards. Federal funds made available in 1964 aided the state in rapidly expanding its system of centres for vocational and technical training. Higher Education State Institutions -The Virginia State Board of Education accredits 17 four-year colleges and universities. The leading Virginia university, indeed one of the leading Southern universities, is the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, founded in 1819 and largely the creation of Thomas Jefferson, who left his mark on its beautiful buildings and grounds and on its academic traditions. Its wide range of professional and graduate schools is coeducational, Mary Washington (1908) at Fredericksburg being its undergraduate college for women.

WVSCTC What is Cooperative Education Cooperative Education at West Virginia State College is an academic program designed to integrate classroom learning with practical experience. Students may attend classes on a part-time basis concurrently with their work experience or alternate periods of work experience with classroom study. As a student, how will co-op benefit me? There are many ways in which students can benefit from co-op. The most obvious benefit is academic. Co-op students earn credit for their work experience. The next is financial. Co-op students are paid a wage There are intangible benefits as well which are often the most beneficial! Co-op students are able to "reality test" the theories they have learned in class, and this often translates into better classroom performance. Students who Co-op can determine if they've made a good career choice before graduation and can make changes if necessary. There is no way to measure how one's self confidence increases and how that impacts on one's sense of responsibility and judgement. It also makes the search for a permanent position easier upon graduation. A large percentage of WVSC Co-op students are retained by their employers. Those who are not retained graduate with both the education and experience employers look for!

Commonwealth of Virginia Web Policy Governor of Virginia Contact Us ... EC Policy eVA Wins National Recognition “Virginia state government spends more than $4 billion every year,” said Governor Warner. “The eVA system is increasingly helping us spend those dollars more wisely and effectively, using one of the basic technological tools of the 21st century.”" This fourth annual awards presentation recognized best practices in digital government and higher education. The Digital Government Award recipients were selected from nearly 200 nominations from across the United States. The awards were presented in federal, state, local government, and higher education categories to honor best practices in existing services delivered via the Internet. "“This year’s winners are to be congratulated for truly distinguishing themselves in the toughest competition since the inception of this awards program,” said Stanley J. Gutkowski, managing partner of Accenture USA Government. “We were overwhelmed by the dramatic increase in participation this year, which we believe is a strong indicator that leadership and innovation in digital government is alive and well.”" For years, Virginia’s disparate systems for purchasing goods and services, and manual purchasing processes hindered the Commonwealth’s ability to get the best value for its money. Recognizing the need for a more efficient approach, the Commonwealth rolled out eVA, a Web-based procurement solution that supports Virginia’s decentralized purchasing environment. By allowing state agencies, local government, and higher education institutions to share information, and opening bidding to a broader spectrum of vendors, eVA is increasing competition and fostering more effective negotiations. So far, eVA has processed more than 118,700 orders with a total value of over $706 million. The site is located at

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n To Assure the Free Appropriate Public Education of All Children with Disabilities - 1996 Special Education Program Standards Study of Class Size and Combining Students with Various Disabilities Virginia Department of Education, FY 1991 The Policy Context Virginia's Special Education Program Standards define the maximum caseloads special education teachers can carry and the conditions under which students with different disabilities can be instructed together. Virginia's special education delivery system is based on the categorical placement of students with disabilities who receive special education services for 50 percent or more of the day. As of 1992, when this study was initiated, special education class size and class mix standards in the State had not changed since the 1970s. Evidence of the need to evaluate these standards in light of changing practices included: 1) an increase in the number and types of waivers requested by local school divisions; 2) an increase in parent and advocate complaints about approved waivers; and 3) a consensus of key stakeholders that the standards might have become too rigid for determining appropriate programs for individual students. The Research Questions The study, conducted by The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) in conjunction with researchers from the Virginia Polytechnic University and the University of Virginia, gathered information designed to enable the Superintendent of Schools and State Board of Education to determine those areas in which the special education standards are successful or need improvement. The project team examined two primary research questions:

Last Update:06-02-03 Curator: Michael A. Molloy Meeting Summary Virginia Board of Education May 28, 2003 Standards of Quality - Proposed Revisions The Board accepted on first review its package of proposed revisions to Virginia's Standards of Quality. If adopted in total, the cost of the Board's proposals to the Commonwealth when fully implemented would be $323 million and the proposals would add over 12,000 staff positions to the existing Standards (10.41 per 1,000 students). A summary of the changes to the SOQ and their projected costs are both available via the Internet at: http://141.104.22.210/VDOE/VA_Board/Standards/May28thSOQFirstPolicyReviewbyBOE.pdf , and at http://141.104.22.210/VDOE/VA_Board/Standards/SOQ-proposedrev.pdf The Board also adopted a resolution suggesting that the General Assembly, in light of current budget conditions, phase in these proposed changes over two separate biennial budgets (4 years). Four public hearings will be held on June 10 (one at Lanier Middle School in Northern Virginia) to solicit comment. Pupil Transportation Specifications The Board adopted its Pupil Transportation Specifications for School Buses. These sections were pulled from the Board's "Regulations Governing Pupil Transportation" in April. This change will permit the Board to revise and update bus specifications more frequently than would be permitted under the process for revising regulations in order to keep up-to-date with changes in bus equipment and technology.
