Why 2/5: The bill makes administrative and governance changes to a regional education consortium, not immediate, widespread policy shifts affecting all students or educators.
This bill updates the governance and reporting requirements for the Western Virginia Public Education Consortium, including changes to its board membership and when it must submit an annual executive summary. It also removes the Consortium's mandate to develop linkages with Northern Virginia schools for educational technology.
