Education Section

The forty-five lawyers in the Education Section provide advice, counsel and guidance to the Commonwealth's educational institutions, including the Commonwealth's public colleges and universities and museums, all under the Secretariat of Education. For the Department of Education and K-12, this guidance often directly influences local schools in implementing the Standards of Learning and Standards of Quality, providing access to technology for disadvantaged students, maintaining discipline and safety on school grounds, complying with federal education programs, and improving school facilities. Virginia’s fourteen colleges and twenty-three community colleges are self-contained communities with the full range of legal needs: campus safety and security, admission and educational quality issues, personnel issues, the proper relationship between colleges and the Commonwealth, contracts, procurement, and financing. The education section also provides legal services to Virginia's museums.
