Richmond, Va. –Subsets of the Virginia Board of Education meet today for the first time on two of Gov. Bob McDonnell’s marquee education initiatives — charter schools and college laboratory schools — as members begin delving into implementation.
The two committees will meet in Richmond this afternoon, starting with national education sources addressing the panel on charters, a topic of particularly high interest for education advocates in the state.
Meanwhile, work is proceeding on the governor’s third education initiative, creating criteria for approving virtual school providers, including on how the state should pay local school systems for students who attend the online academies.
