By KENYA HUNTER Richmond Times-Dispatch Virginia Department of Education officials on Monday defended the agency’s process in revising the mathematics Standards of Learning and criticized news reports stating the agency planned to limit advanced math class offerings in an effort to boost equity. State Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane said at a news conference that reports about advanced coursework, referred to as “acceleration,” aren’t “an accurate representation of the discussions that have been happening.” Lane said agency officials are weighing many shifts among routine draft revisions to state accountability tests. “Absolutely acceleration is not going away in mathematics courses in Virginia,” he said. “If a student needs an accelerated pathway, they will absolutely be able to do that.”
