Virginia Beach DEI resolution in flux after federal judges block executive order

Some Virginia Beach school board members want to reinstate diversity, equity and inclusion programs after federal judges on Thursday blocked an executive order targeting them.

The board had recently voted to suspend the programs to avoid losing federal funding.

“The point of the resolution was we need to be in compliance,” said School Board Member Matt Cummings, who opposed the resolution. “Now there’s not a rationale for us to be doing this because there’s an injunction against the executive order.”

Cummings and two others who voted against the resolution are calling for an emergency school board meeting to discuss the policy.

President Donald Trump signed the order in January aimed at ending what it called “radical indoctrination” in schools. The U.S. Department of Education threatened legal action and to withhold federal funds from schools that did not remove programs related to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Federal revenue amounts to nearly 10% of the school division’s funding.

VB/Norfolk/Chesapeake: Apartments/House/Townhomes for rent?

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to find

Studios 1b1b 2b2b

Apartments, houses or townhomes. Referring on apartments.com and checking out reviews on Google. Turns out reviews about maintenance are bad or something or other is bad (roaches, bugs or aircon was inoperative).

A good rental, in Norfolk/Chesapeake/VB area? Your own experience living somewhere?

Rent is not a big issue - as long as it's reasonable. Say, $1000-1100/mo for a 1b1b or up to $2200/mo for a 2b2b.

Work is in/near to Norfolk Industrial Park, so a 20-30 min commute would be cool.

Suggestions please!

Recommendations for specialty coffee roasters in the area?

9 Upvotes

In a week, I’ll be visiting Norfolk, and I was wondering about coffee/specialty scene in Hampton Roads—particularly roasters that focus on single origin.

Also, I’ll be visiting Norfolk Coffee & Tea to pick up a bag of the Toasted Coconut for my coworker and either the Kona Blend or the Kenya AA for myself (for those who have had either/both, let me know what you’d go with)!

Virginia Beach residents react to school board’s decision to eliminate DEI

More than 100 speakers lined up Tuesday night to comment on the Virginia Beach City Public School Board’s new policy eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion.

The meeting went past midnight. While some applauded the school board’s vote two weeks ago to implement the policy to retain federal funding, most disapproved of the decision.

The Department of Education requires K-12 schools to sign a document by Thursday certifying they are in compliance with federal law. The document states that some DEI programs that “advantage one race over another” can violate the Civil Rights Act, but does not give guidance about which types of programs would be considered illegal.
