ANNOUNCEMENTS
Evidence of Progress Required for the 2020-2021 school year
In accordance with § 22.1-254.1 (C) of the Code of Virginia, parents providing home instruction for the 2020-2021 school year must provide evidence of academic progress to their local school division by August 1, 2021. Although this requirement was waived for the 2019-2020 school year due to COVID-19, the evidence of progress requirement has not been waived and is required for the 2020-2021 school year.
The evidence of academic progress requirement for home instruction students is a measure of student growth and proficiency. Similarly, public school students must take the Standards of Learning (SOL) and other end-of-course (EOC) assessments to demonstrate growth and proficiency. The SOL and EOC assessments have not been waived for public school students for the 2020-2021 school year; and parents must also provide evidence of academic progress for their home instruction students.
