Virginia Association for Teaching, Learning, and Leading (VATLL) is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to advancing excellence in Virginia’s schools. We have 3,300+ members in Virginia who are teachers, superintendents, professors, school leaders, students, and central office administrators. We represent a variety of roles and share a single purpose - ensuring a world-class education for every Virginia student.

In January 2025, our organization released our Statement of Readiness which identified six important topics for consideration as we transitioned to a new federal administration. As of February 2025, three of the identified topics have begun to come to fruition and require immediate consideration. The resources linked in our response below are intended to inform and guide educators, administrators, and central office staff under these changing policies.
