HOUSE BILL NO. 632 

Offered January 10, 2018 

Prefiled January 8, 2018 

A BILL to amend and reenact � 22.1-253.13:1 of the Code of 
 Virginia, relating to career investigation courses and programs of instruction. 
---------- 

Patrons-- Bulova, Pogge, Boysko, Byron, Carr, Filler-Corn, Tran and Wilt 

---------- 

Referred to Committee on Education 

---------- 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That � 22.1-253.13:1 of the Code of Virginia is amended 
 and reenacted as follows:

� 22.1-253.13:1. Standard 1. Instructional programs supporting 
 the Standards of Learning and other educational objectives.

A. The General Assembly and the Board of Education believe 
 that the fundamental goal of the public schools of the Commonwealth must be to 
 enable each student to develop the skills that are necessary for success in 
 school, preparation for life, and reaching their full potential. The General 
 Assembly and the Board of Education find that the quality of education is 
 dependent upon the provision of (i) the appropriate working environment, 
 benefits, and salaries necessary to ensure the availability of high-quality 
 instructional personnel; (ii) the appropriate learning environment designed to 
 promote student achievement; (iii) quality instruction that enables each 
 student to become a productive and educated citizen of Virginia and the United 
 States of America; and (iv) the adequate commitment of other resources. In 
 keeping with this goal, the General Assembly shall provide for the support of 
 public education as set forth in Article VIII, Section 1 of the Constitution of 
 Virginia.

B. The Board of Education shall establish educational 
 objectives known as the Standards of Learning, which shall form the core of 
 Virginia's educational program, and other educational objectives, which 
 together are designed to ensure the development of the skills that are 
 necessary for success in school and for preparation for life in the years 
 beyond. At a minimum, the Board shall establish Standards of Learning for 
 English, mathematics, science, and history and social science. The Standards of 
 Learning shall not be construed to be regulations as defined in � 2.2-4001.

The Board shall seek to ensure that the Standards of Learning 
 are consistent with a high-quality foundation educational program. The 
 Standards of Learning shall include, but not be limited to, the basic skills of 
 communication (listening, speaking, reading, and writing); computation and 
 critical reasoning, including problem solving and decision making; proficiency 
 in the use of computers and related technology; computer science and 
 computational thinking, including computer coding; and the skills to manage 
 personal finances
