You can find a list of those who are on the board and vacancies here. We hope to reinstate our board meeting via google docs soon, more information will be forthcoming. It has been quiet for some time, but it has been for a great cause. The Virginia Department of Education is developing a DLI Guidance document. A group of DLI educators across Virginia has completed a working draft. This process took over 6 months to complete. The document will now be edited and sent to field readers for further input. When a final draft is ready, it will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for approval. We will keep you informed as we learn more information about this final process. We have also been busy coordinating the sessions for FLAVA. We hope to see you there. If you'd like to see the schedule please click here. Future Plans: Join us for our first Virginia Dual Language Immersion Day! VDOE, VADLEN, and Chesterfield County Public Schools are inviting everyone interested in Dual Language Immersion Education to attend.
