New Virginia history standards are firing up parents at school board meetings across Central and Southwest Virginia. Many parents at these meetings believe the changes are linked to critical race theory. ABC13 began investigating what is being taught in local schools.
It all started in Franklin County, where many parents expressed concerns over what changes could be coming. Mom Deana Wright stated she is concerned over how new history standards will impact her kids.
“I just want to be sure our teacher staff and students receive honest education about our country s history and where we are headed,” she said.

The School Board unanimously approved on April 12 to implement a $5,000 annual supplement for teachers who become certified with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
Linda Foster, human resources supervisor, said a teacher who is certified with the National Board has inquired about teaching in the Franklin County School System.
However, she said the most the system would pay is $46,207, including a 2.5 percent salary increase the board is considering.
Foster said the School System could be losing out to other systems that pay bonuses for national certification.
The National Board is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization founded in 1987 that develops and maintains advanced standards for educators and offers a national, voluntary assessment â National Board Certification, based on NBPTS standards.
