Policy Briefs

CEPI maintains an issues-based information bank. This section of the CEPI Web page contains an executive summary and analysis of current education issues under discussion in the Commonwealth. New topics are added to the information bank periodically and obsolete briefs are archived to permit accurate and timely use.

All issues are presented in a standard format. Every effort is made to present each issue as a comprehensive overview of the subject; however, CEPI is a university-based research and analysis institute and does not advocate specific legislative or policy proposals. All issues are selected based on their relevance and timeliness to K-12 education policy discussions in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

For questions or comments, contact Kate Kaminski, managing editor CEPI Policy Briefs.

CEPI’s Web page provides analysis of current legislative activity by specific issues. Recent legislative history and current status of the impact of new or proposed legislation are organized to parallel this issue’s topics found in the “Issues” section or embedded in the policy brief itself.

The Commonwealth of Virginia’s General Assembly provides public access to a complete listing of all legislation and its status. Bill summaries as well as complete texts are available. The bill tracking service provides current information on committees, calendars, and public hearings. Citizens seeking accurate and detailed legislative information can find it on the General Assembly’s Legislative Information page: http://leg1.state.va.us/lis.htm. CEPI also maintains GA information page containing summaries or legislative action. Archives or past year's sessions are also available under "GA Info".

CEPI is a university-based research institute and does not advocate specific legislative proposals. CEPI will analyze pro and con positions in the broader context of the issues being addressed and the likely outcomes of such proposals in the context of K-12 education policy.
