Governor Gilmore has asked the Department of Education to post a letter on our website congratulating schools that are fully accredited and provisionally accredited/meets state standards. His office will be sending certificates of recognition to each of these schools. The Governor also expresses his support of President Bush’s request to aid the children of Afghanistan, and his appreciation of the contributions made by students and teachers throughout Virginia.

A copy of the letter is posted at the following Internet address: http://www.pen.k12.va.us/administrators/principals_memos/2001/ems014a.pdf
