Tracking
Legislation during the 2006 General Assembly |
This
memorandum provides information regarding the 2006 session of the Virginia
General Assembly. The General Assembly
is scheduled to convene January 11, 2006, and is scheduled to adjourn on March
11, 2006. The Division of Policy and
Communications will keep you apprised of proposed legislation of interest to
school superintendents and division personnel through the posting of
legislative tracking reports for bills and resolutions during the session on
our website.
The
legislative reports for the 2006 General Assembly will be posted on the
Department of Educations website at: http://www.doe.virginia.gov/VDOE/PolicyPub/legis98. These reports will reflect the status of
education-related legislation tracked by the Department of Education. The history of any bill or resolution, all
amendments, and the text of the legislation will be available by clicking on
the bill or resolution number in the Legislative Tracking Reports.
At
the conclusion of the 2006 General Assembly, final tracking reports will be
posted in the same location on our website. These will reflect the final
action on education-related legislation tracked by the Department of
Education. The history of any bill or
resolution, all amendments, and the text of the final version will still be
available by clicking on the bill or resolution number in the Final Legislative
Tracking Reports. Additionally, we will
issue a Superintendents Memorandum summarizing the bills and
any actions that may or must be taken by local school boards. Later, we will issue a separate
Superintendents Memorandum outlining the bills that amended the Standards of
Quality and providing a copy of the revised standards for 2006.
I
hope this information will assist you in following bills of interest during the
2006 General Assembly Session. Please do
not hesitate to contact the Office of Policy and Communications, by telephone
at (804) 225-2403 or by electronic mail at policy@doe.virginia.gov if you need
additional information.
