I strongly support this regulatory action because it ensures Virginia’s teacher preparation programs are aligned with decades of cognitive science showing that evidence-based literacy instruction is the most effective way to help children read words accurately and fluently.  The Act rightly requires districts to provide specific training and ensure that interventions are delivered by trained teachers.  It also calls for K–3/K-8 reading screeners and formal plans to ensure every student reads at or above grade level.  These are urgent, commonsense steps that will give every child in Virginia the strong foundation they deserve for lifelong learning.

In support of most of the suggested regulatory changes but the 'soft references' to CRT - DEI - SEL, etc. The Federal Government has outlawed DEI measures. 

Also, Teacher Licensing - The ABTEL almost never takes action on an Educator License unless there are charges filed upon someone for significant child abuse and/or sexual and or pornographic charges. Moral Turpitude like denying special education under IDEA and chain of command responsible must be an exclusionary measure. 

Breaking federal education laws and denying the civil rights of students equals breaking Federal Laws and Denying Civil RIGHTS. The School Systems just automatically cover up for each other. Parents need an avenue to submit legitimate complaints as victims of school professional based bullying, denial of rights, denial of parental rights, refusal to educate, and violations of Constitutional Rights and Authorities with their own children.
