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.

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.

For questions or comments, contact CEPI at cepi@vcu.edu or (804) 827-3290
