The Virginia State Board of Education is an independent board established by the state of Virginia in the United States which helps set state elementary and secondary educational policy, advocates within state government for elementary and secondary education, administers some state educational programs, and regulates the teaching profession in the state. ==About the board== The Virginia state constitution gives the state legislature, the Virginia General Assembly, the primary governing role over public education in the state.〔Russo and Mawdsley, p. 1-2.〕 Thus, the state board of education is merely an administrative agency which carries out the laws, policies, and programs established by the legislature. The board is composed of nine members, who are appointed by the Governor of Virginia and must be confirmed by the General Assembly.〔("Duties." Virginia Board of Education. Virginia Department of Education. 2011. ) Accessed 2011-07-25.〕 Members serve for four years, and may serve only two consecutive terms.〔 The board's duties include:〔 * Establishing a statewide curriculum; * Establishing high school graduation requirements; * Establishing educational and certification requirements for teachers, principals, and other education personnel; * Establishing state educational assessment programs, including those for the federally required No Child Left Behind Act; * Accrediting local schools and school districts; * Accrediting teacher and school administration education programs; * Implementing federal education assistance programs, and ensuring that schools make reporting requirements under these programs; and * Acting as a rulemaking body to implement state educational programs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Virginia State Board of Education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
