School board approves updated literacy plan; VDOE screener added for some grades 4–8 students
Summary
Dinwiddie County approved biannual revisions to its literacy plan under the Virginia Literacy Act, extending timelines through 2027, adding the Vowel screener for targeted 4–8 students and keeping structured literacy for K–2 while expanding training and diagnostics for older students.
The Dinwiddie County School Board on Monday approved revisions to the division's literacy plan required by the Virginia Literacy Act, extending the plan through 2027 and adding a diagnostic requirement the state now requires for some fourth‑through‑eighth graders.
The changes come as the state phases in expanded literacy requirements. A literacy plan presenter told the board, “The Virginia Department of Education requires every school system to submit a biannual literacy plan by June 30.” Presenters said the committee reviewed the first year of implementation and recommended mostly wording and scheduling changes, not major structural shifts.
