Latest News and Guidance for the 2021-2022 School Year
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has been working closely with the Governor’s Office, the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), and other state agencies to ensure our schools and communities have the most up-to-date information and resources. The health and safety of our children and staff are our top priorities. Here is the latest news regarding COVID-19 and Virginia schools for the 2021-2022 school year:
- On July 21, 2021, the VDH and the VDOE released new guidance for PreK-12 schools in the upcoming 2021-2022 school year. The Interim Guidance for COVID-19 Prevention in Virginia PreK-12 Schools reinforces the importance of in-person learning and supports divisions in making locally-informed decisions on masking and other prevention measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in schools.
