Virginia Board of Education Resolution 2002-228
Approving Waiver of Certain SOA Requirements for Russell County Public Schools
Resolution Number 2002-28
October 16, 2002
Resolved:
The Board of Education approves a request by Russell County Public Schools for a waiver of the requirements of 8 VAC 20-131-240.E of the accrediting standards, which would limit the high school teachers’ load to 25 classes periods per week. This waiver would also permit the division to assign teachers to teach more classes with fewer students per class than they are currently teaching and to avoid having to provide “an appropriate contractual arrangement and compensation” that would be required by the accreditation standard unless the teacher teaches 35 class periods per week with more than 75 student periods per day. The waiver would affect three high schools with 1,557 students.
