If you have a question not answered here, please fill out our Feedback/Question Form. General Information Employment Tuition ... Other GENERAL INFORMATION Q: Why is this legislation necessary? A: A: These three schools proposed the legislation, but the status is available to any school able to meet the established criteria, divided into three stages or levels by the legislation. U.Va., Virginia Tech, and the College of William and Mary have the revenue capacity, asset base, and more than a decade of experience in local fiscal and personnel management (decentralization) to qualify them to operate under a new partnership with the State at the highest level of decentralization. In fact, a number of practices initiated by these institutions under decentralization have now been adopted statewide and proven successful. Q: Will U.Va. become a private institution?

In 1779, Thomas Jefferson proposed his Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge , the purpose of which was to “diffuse knowledge more generally through the mass of the people” for the purpose of “rendering the people safe, as they are the ultimate guardians of their own liberty.” In 1869, the Virginia General Assembly adopted a constitution providing for a system of free public schools. Today, Virginia’s 137 school divisions are governed by 134 local school boards and provide education for over one million students in nearly 1,900 public schools. Virginia is viewed as a national leader in meaningful educational reform, having one of the finest public school systems in the nation.

53. What Does Research Say About Early Childhood Education? National Association of State boards of education. (1988). Right from the start . Arlington, VA AASA, 1801 N. Moore St., Arlington, virginia 22079 http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/stw_esys/5erly_ch.htm

What Does Research Say About Early Childhood Education? S. Bredekamp, R.A. Knuth, L.G. Kunesh, and D.D. Shulman NCREL, Oak Brook, 1992 Early Childhood Education (ECE) is the term frequently applied to the education of young children from birth through age 8. Although early childhood education has existed since the creation of kindergarten in the 1800s, the last decade has seen a tremendous amount of attention devoted to the subject of early education for young children. The focus of this program, therefore, is to address curriculum and assessment issues related to the education of young children and discuss ways schools can change to become ready for children. Information that follows has been excerpted from position statements and guidelines developed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the National Association of Early Childhood Specialists in State Departments of Education (NAECS/SDE) for appropriately educating young children, ages 3 through 8. The Need for Early Childhood Curriculum and Assessment Guidelines These reports reflect a growing consensus that the traditional scope and sequence approach to curriculum with its emphasis on drill and practice of isolated, academic skills does not reflect current knowledge of human learning and fails to produce students who possess the kind of higher-order thinking and problem-solving abilities that will be needed in the 21st century. Past success in improving basic skills in the "3 Rs" has not been matched by success in improving reading comprehension, writing fluency, or math problem-solving ability. In addition, it is evident that our schools are failing to produce future generations with even a working knowledge of the natural, physical, and social sciences, much less the kinds of minds that will create new knowledge in these areas. Specifically, these national organizations call for schooling to place greater emphasis on:

Equal Pay The Wage Payment and Collection Act requires the payment of wages and fringe benefits within 72 hours to employees who are discharged and payment by the next regular payday for employees who have resigned or are laid off. Although the Act does not require employers to provide fringe benefits to their employees, it does assure that employers follow through by providing the benefits they have included in their own company policy. Other provisions include requiring employers to meet their payroll at least once in every two weeks unless provided a special agreement; prohibiting unauthorized payroll deductions unless the employee has agreed to the deduction through a legal wage assignment and other issues regarding employer-employee responsibilities. Wage Bonds The Act also requires that, with the exception of those who have been doing business in this state for over five consecutive years, and are engaged in construction work or the severance, production or transportation of minerals must furnish a bond to protect the wages and benefits of their employees.

Virginia Association of Scholars American Council of Trustees and Alumni (formerly National Alumni Forum) VIRGINIA COLLEGES FAIL TO TEACH BASICS RICHMOND, VA., 13 February 1998: Students can graduate from Virginia's leading colleges and universities without studying basic subjects such as English and mathematics, according to a new study by the Virginia Association of Scholars (VAS). The findings were presented to the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) at its Friday, February 13, 1998, meeting. The Troubling State of General Education: A Study of Six Virginia Public Colleges and Universities finds that students can avoid basic subjects and fulfill graduation requirements by selecting from a hodgepodge of narrow, dumbed-down, and trivial courses. The study also shows a striking difference between today's nearly meaningless requirements and the rigorous general education provided students in the past. The report was issued by VAS, the state affiliate of the National Association of Scholars, an organization of college and university faculty dedicated to high academic standards and intellectual freedom. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a national nonpartisan organization of alumni and trustees dedicated to academic freedom and excellence, endorsed the report and called on trustees, alumni, and taxpayers to demand higher standards. Former National Endowment for the Humanities chairman Lynne V. Cheney warned that students who lack knowledge of "basic landmarks of history and culture are unlikely to be prepared to make the complex choices today's life demands." Former Secretary of Education William J. Bennett in turn criticized the colleges and universities for "not demanding a rigorous education of our students" and called upon them to insist on higher standards of academic excellence.

Roanoke Times , August 16, 1944 Four Women On Boards Of Leading Virginia Colleges Two Will Serve At University Of Virginia And Two At Virginia Tech By Virginia Waller Davis Editor's Note: The following story on appointments of women to the board of visitors of the University of Virginia was written for the Associated Press by Virginia Waller Davis, press secretary to Governor Darden. Richmond, Aug. 12 (AP). Four women alike, and yet very different have the distinction of having been selected by the governor of Virginia to serve as members of two former male strongholds the boards of visitors of the University of Virginia and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Completely womanless from the time it was brought into being by act of the general assembly, January 25, 1819, until the year 1922, when one woman was invited to join the impressive assemblage, (followed by four others in the 22 years, since then singly and alone) the enlarged board of visitors of the university will meet in Fredericksburg on Tuesday, with its adopted daughter Mary Washington college, and four women, representing Tidewater, the Valley, Northern Virginia and the Great Southwest, will answer to the roll call. Though outstanding leaders in varied lines of endeavors, they are bound to this new board, by many ties. One holds a masters degree from the university two may point with pride to sons and daughters as honor graduates, another, holding a BS degree from Mary Washington college can claim both husband and father as graduates of the university and four young sons just biding their time before following in their footsteps.
