Last week, Martinsville Schools Superintendent Dr. Zeb Talley, and immediate past president of the Virginia Association of Superintendents (VASS), was among the VASS leadership who travelled to Richmond to meet with the new state superintendent Dr. Lisa Coons and her Chief of Staff Jeremy Raley. The group discussed a number of topics including teacher licensure and school accreditation.
The leadership team also had an introductory meeting with Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, during which they spoke about chronic absenteeism, cyber security, and mental health.
