Richmond, VA – According to the state officials, several months ago, Governor Youngkin challenged all school divisions to urgently create ALL in VA comprehensive plans that were tailored to their specific divisions and took aggressive action to ensure their students get the academic support they need to recover learning loss, boost their attendance and academic performance.
Governor Youngkin and the General Assembly dedicated $418 million in the state budget in flexible funding for Virginia schools to aid in learning loss recovery and implement the Virginia Literacy Act.
School divisions have thought creatively of ways to implement best practices and offer high-intensity tutoring to their students- before and after school, modifying in-school schedules, and offering Saturday sessions are all options that divisions have planned to help their students.
Governor Glenn Youngkin released the following statement:
“I’m pleased all of Virginia’s school divisions have heeded my call to urgently and aggressively take action to help our students recover from the covid pandemic learning loss. I’m pleased that today every school division has embraced that challenge and are committed to getting our students back on track academically.”
