College partnership laboratory schools; transparency.

Virginia · 2026 Regular Session · lower

Description

College partnership laboratory schools; transparency. Requires, for college partnership laboratory schools that form a collaborative partnership with one or more school divisions, the parents of any enrolled student to be notified of such collaborative partnership and provided with contact information for an administrator in such partnering division that the parent can contact with questions or concerns about program administration or the student's experience at the college partnership laboratory school.
