Next school year schools will implement a data collection method known as “Student Behavior and Administrative Response.” The new method will measure how schools respond to student behavior, not just the behavior itself. The idea is that the data will help reveal ways to reduce disproportionality.
“This allows us to study equity in responses beyond just exclusionary discipline and view equity through access to support,” said Brittney Kanard, an Education Data Specialist with VDOE.
Local schools change substitute teacher guidelines amidst the pandemic

PORTSMOUTH, Va. - For generations, when teachers have called out, substitutes have stepped in.
However, in Portsmouth, the pandemic has forced the public school system to change when substitutes are used.
Jessica Duren, the executive director of human resources for Portsmouth Public Schools, said, Typically, if a teacher was going to be out for any significant amount of time, they would be able to secure a substitute.

[Teachers] can certainly take off whatever time that they need, but if they do take off for less than five days, then a substitute will not be secured [and] their colleagues will be helping to stand in the gap.
