| VA | Signed into law 02/2006 | P-12 | Changes the Board of Education's required review of the Standards of Quality from odd-numbered years to even-numbered years; provides that in any odd- numbered year following the year in which the Board proposes changes to the Standard of Quality, budget estimates required to be reported take such changes into consideration. From the fiscal note: This legislation moves the review of new standards to even-numbered years, so that any funding received by the General Assembly could be incorporated into biennial rebenchmarking, which begins after each odd-numbered General Assembly session ends. For instance, if funding for additional standards were considered and recommended by the Board in calendar year 2006 and then presented to and adopted by the 2007 General Assembly, funding for any new standards would be "built into" the rebenchmarking process for the 2008-2010 biennium. Not only would the costs of such new standards remain current, but this schedule would provide ample time for local school divisions to plan for the new standards.
