Public Hearing on the Proposed Computer Science SOL

An important part of the Computer Science Standards of Learning review and development is the solicitation of comments from teachers of Computer Science and other Computer Science educators, curriculum supervisors, school administrators, education organizations, scientists, workforce representatives, parents, and other members of the public. The Virginia Board of Education will hold two public hearings on the proposed Computer Science Standards of Learning. We hope you can join us.
