Delegate Seibold, the bill’s sponsor, described a personal case in which her daughter’s individualized education program accommodations were not honored in a dual‑enrollment class because community colleges require separate ADA accommodation requests. That led the student to be withdrawn from the course and disrupted her senior year schedule, Seibold said. The substitute requires the Board of Education to create a model notification that local divisions can use to ensure consistent parent notification.

Supporters included the Virginia School Boards Association, the Virginia Council of Administrators of Special Education, and the Virginia Education Association, which told the committee the change would help parents and students understand accommodation differences between K‑12 and postsecondary settings. Witnesses said current Virginia IEP materials do not mention dual enrollment and that standardizing notice during IEP meetings could prevent confusion.

Why it matters: Testimony emphasized that some students and families are unaware that dual‑enrollment instructors and postsecondary institutions may apply different policies for accommodations, and that early notification can prevent missed opportunities and scheduling disruptions.

Next steps: The committee reported the bill as substituted, 8‑0; it will proceed to the next stage of the legislative process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","K-12 Subcommittee Tuesday, Jan 28, 2025 3:55 PM - 6:08 PM","oneSentenceSummary","The subcommittee unanimously reported HB 1892 after testimony that students with IEPs may not receive their K‑12 accommodations automatically in community college dual‑enrollment courses; the bill directs the Board of Education to develop a model notification for school divisions.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature VA, Virginia","taxId",77687,"location","Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6367395,"Subcommittee splits on CTE fixes: part‑time subject‑matter experts, workforce review and long‑term substitute rules debated",2273,857000,3130000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2158812-15825bbe79bd08a0847634ff2bb8093e&start=857&end=3130","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2158812-15825bbe79bd08a0847634ff2bb8093e/thumbnail_857000.jpg","/articles/6367395/Virginia/Subcommittee-splits-on-CTE-fixes-parttime-subjectmatter-experts-workforce-review-and-longterm-substitute-rules-debated","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6367395-09d5038349718b97dbae2e0d9a5790ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1770990167&Signature=Oxyi2tcTGcJzn-z~AxRsNbURud71faIrgkn0nZnP8UwkRlCZycpa5h2bmoMYMHwXNkERiwH64Giek9JAERdkrmDyrW0DAONusGHsMZTJh-SfBasvq1enC2zEOOJIMyp45XdiA3qjEsNcXVd2cSVUTiwRIqIIhyb6eMDMO-H0exiypJ45ONmxvJtbEGZtbLWBEWExIALu62AtKBjK28VnQ2ZY6DXDb6Hed8EsbHABA~MTVT1OG1oI9HmP~xYIvPJ167dgYSfODWFVSk71n6ENjOMjREqf1VCGKMwzZDfHy8BHq2vL6Yy2rUYidrQhYi7yiVtEd0Ubt0sqFqbHRwJO3w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House K‑12 Subcommittee considered a package of bills aimed at addressing shortages in career and technical education and maintaining classroom continuity.

Delegate Dan Walker presented HB 2044, a bill to create a one‑year subject‑matter expert credential allowing qualified industry professionals to teach a single CTE course under supervision of a licensed teacher. The bill was amended during the hearing to shorten credential term and limit instructors to one course per semester. Supporters — including the Virginia Manufacturers Association and delegations from local school systems — said the credential would help districts offer CTE courses when full‑time instructors are unavailable. The Virginia Education Association testified in opposition, saying existing provisional and licensure pathways would better protect employees and students. After discussion and a motion from Delegate Askew, the subcommittee voted 5‑3 to lay HB 2044 on the table.

Separately, Delegate Campbell presented HB 2009 to create a coordinated review of CTE courses and credentials across multiple state education and workforce entities. Supporters said the review would align credentials with workforce demand; the subcommittee moved to table the bill 5‑3.

Lawmakers advanced HB 2201 (substitute) to extend provisions that allow long‑term substitutes to serve up to 180 days and require reporting, professional development plans, and a sunset clause. Speakers from Henrico, Chesterfield and other systems said the tool has helped districts cope with vacancies and has aided transitions from substitute to licensed teacher; critics asked for stronger guardrails and more administrative oversight to prevent abuse. The subcommittee reported the substitute 5‑3.

Why it matters: Committee members said Virginia faces persistent shortages in CTE and classroom staffing. Supporters framed these bills as short‑term tools to maintain student access to courses and to build teacher pipelines; opponents warned about weakening licensure standards or creating long‑standing substitute assignments without safeguards.

Next steps: HB 2201 was reported out of committee for further consideration; HB 2044 and HB 2009 were tabled and may be revised over the interim.","Lawmakers heard several measures intended to expand career and technical education (CTE) capacity. The subcommittee tabled HB 2044 and HB 2009 (5‑3 votes) and advanced HB 2201 extending long‑term substitute provisions (5‑3) after debate about teacher protections and pathways to licensure.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6367400,"K‑12 Subcommittee backs statewide anonymous school tip app, sends bill to appropriations",354,2700000,3054000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2158812-15825bbe79bd08a0847634ff2bb8093e&start=2700&end=3054","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2158812-15825bbe79bd08a0847634ff2bb8093e/thumbnail_2700000.jpg","/articles/6367400/Virginia/K12-Subcommittee-backs-statewide-anonymous-school-tip-app-sends-bill-to-appropriations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6367400-e6a7d901a7e7bec864aee21e26a0e720/orig.mp4?Expires=1770990167&Signature=hhk25si0RFdK8Z5auGcVGaaAO4veQ~3gjc9VDYtrifaIoYf8Sfs5ad~ylvq3k~s0sOITr5wywwkUSwrRWVZHAaec6e-a29wrMtf01yEyIJ7c0UQ2I7cuUV6O~pwM9ve5KcHf-Zyf0tVjE2vFH~YDne-Hl9UGehY-Spe~xmZ0sbV9u4vyQ6WijW2YTNQrAmsTW4afyIUlP5zWgtJS8WiGs-yAz1pMUFZ0jY9G2DunSkHzyzOCwDIAp9hN5Z0SEe5CpC2-8bGp2fZ0SMozd0koxjGwIoSxX~yltOD83lfxOJhHDee3-BWCC03QBDW9k6vu~3lzQC5XEsILf4D~tsmmcQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House K‑12 Subcommittee voted 8‑0 to report HB 2733 and refer it to the Appropriations Committee after hearings in which supporters said a statewide anonymous reporting app would help students report threats, self‑harm and other safety concerns.

Supporters said the app — modeled on programs used in other states — would let students share photos or screenshots with school administrators and, if necessary, local law enforcement. Delegate Matthew Higgins, the bill’s patron, said the app would be available to districts at no cost and the Department of Education would coordinate student awareness and access.

The bill’s backers included Max Schachter, who testified remotely and identified himself as an advocate whose son died in the Parkland shooting; Schachter said anonymous tip lines had helped prevent threats in other states and recommended the measure. Delegate Lee Cherry and other subcommittee members urged swift action, and committee counsel noted the primary budget implication would be a single coordinator position to distribute and maintain the statewide deployment.

Why it matters: Proponents described the app as a low‑cost tool that can surface concerning behavior early, allowing counselors and law enforcement to intervene before incidents escalate. Schachter cited national best practices and the Luke and Alex School Safety Act as precedent for tip lines.

What the subcommittee did: After brief questions about local law enforcement programs already in some localities and the cost estimate presented by staff, the subcommittee voted to report HB 2733 and refer it to Appropriations, 8‑0.

Next steps: The bill will be considered by Appropriations, where funding for the coordinator position and any startup costs would be reviewed.

Ending note: Committee members discussed whether the app’s administration should sit with the Department of Education or local law enforcement; the bill as reported assigns the Department of Education responsibility for statewide rollout and coordination.","The House K‑12 Subcommittee voted unanimously to report HB 2733, directing the Department of Education to deploy an anonymous mobile reporting app for student safety; the measure was referred to appropriations with an 8‑0 vote.","actionData","errors"]
