First Lady of Virginia One‏ of the Childre’s Caiet’s greatest strengths is its ability to cultivate relationships and foster cross-agency communication.

The report found that Virginia led the nation with referrals at a rate of 15.8 students per 1,000 compared to the national average of 6 students per 1,000. Nearly 16 out of every 1,000 Virginia students were referred by schools to law enforcement in the 2011-2012 school year, which was three times the national average. Given the significance of the issue, Governor Terry McAuliffe asked the Childre’s Cabinet to recommend policy changes to improve the likelihood of youth remaining and being successful in schools rather than entering the juvenile or criminal justice system as a result of school-related behavioral issues. The members of the Childre’s Cabinet convened a workgroup consisting of agency heads and personnel from the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), and Virginia Department of Education (VDOE). They were charged with examining these issues and providing recommendations for schools and communities. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to safely keep students in classrooms – not courtrooms, while giving special consideration to disproportionate minority and disability suspensions, expulsions, referrals to law enforcement, and juvenile intake rates. The‏ Childre’s Cabinet identified nine recommendations to reduce the number of students referred to law enforcement from schools.

Dean has prepared for a couple of years to lead our association, and I am positive with his innovative and creative thinking – he’ll raise VACo to the next level.” Lynch first joined VACo in 1995 as a lobbyist.

  • Governor Mcdonnell's Regulatory Reform
    GOVERNOR MCDONNELL ’S REGULATORY REFORM INITIATIVE DECEMBER 20, 2013 (WITH CORRECTIONS ) 1 December 20, 2013 The Honorable Robert F. McDonnell Office of the Governor Patrick Henry Building, 3rd Floor 1111 East Broad Street Richmond, Virginia 23219 Dear Governor McDonnell: On behalf of your staff, executive branch agencies, citizens and stakeholders, i t is our pleasure to provide you with this report of the result s of the Regulatory Reform Initiative (“RRI”) . A year ago, you asked us to begin this initiative to reduce the burdens that regulations place on the citizens of Virginia. We are pleased to report this initiative has yielded significant results. As you said at the launch of this initiative: “ While the regulations contained in the Virginia Administrative Code are important parts of ensuring the safety and well -being of Virginians, these regulations can sometimes also be unnecessarily burdensome on the pe ople and job creators of the Commonwealth. Unnecessary administrative burdens hamper job creation by Virginia employers. Smart regulatory reform will produce a freer and better environment for citizens and businesses.” Through this initiative, 931 section s of state regulations have been, or are in the process of being, repealed. Additionally, executive branch agencies have pursued 110 regulatory actions, impacting 678 sections of regulations, to reduce burdens on Virginians and make our regulations easier to understand. This work could not have been completed without the guidance of former Director of Policy Development & Deputy Counselor to the Governor Jeff Palmore, the hard work and tireless efforts of Melanie K. West and the rest of the Economic and Regulatory Analysis Division at the Department of Planning and Budget, and the 29 agencies that participated in this effort.

  • Orientation Conference Program
    2017 GO Virginia Orientation Conference April 20, 2017 DoubleTree by Hilton Richmond, VA Hosted by: The Virginia Growth and Opportunity Board About GO Virginia The Virginia Initiative for Growth and Opportunity in Each Region (GO Virginia) was initiated in 2015 by Virginia’s senior business leadership to foster private- sector growth and job creation through state incentives for regional collaboration by business, education, and government. Virginia’s economic growth now lags that of its traditional competitors and the nation as a whole, principally because of the loss of higher paying jobs tied to federal spending and a lack of diversity in Virginia’s economic drivers. The GO Virginia coalition successfully worked in a bipartisan manner with the General Assembly and Governor McAuliffe to pass a legislative package during the 2016 session to provide a framework for regional collaboration to grow and diversify the state’s economy. The state budget includes funding to encourage localities to work together on priorities identified by the nine Board- designated regional councils to accomplish this goal. As the GO Virginia effort now transitions from concept to implementation, the coalition will continue to raise awareness of the economic challenges facing the state and the need for continued support of the effort. The 2016 legislation also created the Virginia Growth and Opportunity Board, a 24 member group composed of private-sector business leaders, legislators, and members of the Governor’s Cabinet, which will approve the incentive grant awards and assist the regions in the development and implementation of their growth and diversification plans. The grant program is administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.
