Virginia commission calls broadened high school curriculum
The Cary commission on Virginia public school curricula urged expansion of vocational trades and adult education to better fit students for life after school. It urged consolidations and joint high schools between counties, possibly at VPI, to train teachers for these programs. The report warns the current academic focus leaves many youths undereducated and at risk of delinquency.
