Description
Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the Blind. Re-establishes the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the Blind as the governing entity for the Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind at Staunton and the Virginia School for the Deaf, Blind and Multi-Disabled at Hampton. This bill also repeals the section providing for the Advisory Commission on the Schools for the Deaf and the Blind, and the authority of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to prescribe the curricula and other matters for the schools. Technical amendments have also been made to conform certain provisions pertaining to the Board of Visitors to current statutory drafting requirements. Amends § 2.2-208 (“Position established; agencies for which responsible; powers and duties.”), § 2.2-2101 (“(Effective until July 1, 2013) Prohibition against service by legislators on boards, commissions, and councils within the executive branch; exceptions.”), § 22.1-346 (“Transfer of property; rights and duties of the Board of Visitors of the Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind; supervision of school; appointment and removal of officers and faculty; certain funding initiatives.”), § 22.1-346.2 (“Board of Visitors of the Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind established.”), § 22.1-348 (“Persons eligible; fees; educational programs to be provided; admissions procedures.”), § 22.1-349 (“Terms of employment of teachers.”), of the Code of Virginia.
