Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is calling for an investigation into a high school that delayed informing students of their merit awards in the name of equity.
on Tuesday called for an investigation into a high school that delayed notifying students of their merit awards in an effort to advance the school's equity policy.
Youngkin sent a letter to Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, asking him to investigate the allegations that the school withheld notifications to students about their merit awards. The delayed notification was discovered by a parent whose son was not informed that he was among the nation's top 3% of students until teachers dropped certificates unceremoniously on students' desks about a month past special deadlines for National Merit Scholars.
FCPS said in a statement that it is aware of Youngkin's order for an investigation and that the district shares"his desire to get to the facts surrounding the delay in notification of National Merit Commendations at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology for 2022." "Our preliminary understanding is that the delay this fall was a unique situation due to human error," FCPS said.
