During the 2026 General Assembly session, House Bill 996 (HB 996) was passed to help improve the transition from high school to adult services and opportunities for students with disabilities. The legislation directs the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS), the Virginia Department of Education, and other partners to develop a plan for clearer transition guidance, better information and resources, stronger connections with Community Services Boards, and an online resource to help students and families understand their options after high school.
The goal is to help more students with disabilities successfully move into postsecondary education, training, employment, day programs, independent living, and life-skills programs.
We are asking families, educators, Community Services Board staff and service providers to complete a brief survey. Your feedback will help us understand what information is hard to find, where barriers exist and what resources or supports would make the transition process easier.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and share it with others who may want to provide input. Your experience can help shape better transition information and supports for Virginia’s students and families.
The survey can be accessed using this link or the QR code https://bit.ly/4s1hSvX
The survey is available in English and Spanish. If you need the survey in a different language, please email Suvarchala.Lankalapalli@dars.virginia.gov with the specific language needed."

This morning, Dr. Huber had the pleasure of joining Mrs. Plum's Kindergarten class at Luray Elementary School. Today, there was practice with fine motor skills on a project to learn about the five senses. Next, Dr. Huber and the students read a story together that taught about kindness, and finally they learned the difference between fiction and nonfiction. During these activities Dr. Huber was witness to these young learners showing grit and determination as they practiced new skills. Mrs. Plum is a fantastic example of what great teaching and learning looks like in Page County Public Schools.
Don't Just Stand By. Stand Together.

Yesterday, Dr. Huber was able to start his week off working with Springfield Elementary School 2nd graders, and to see their teacher, Miss Dudley, in action. Her classroom was a hub of learning, where students not only worked hard on reading and spelling, but also on soft skills like words of affirmation and encouragement for their classmates. Dr. Huber stated, "It was a great way to start off the week. Amazing things are happening in Page County." Our superintendent is thoroughly enjoying being able to visit classrooms to witness all of the learning that is taking place.
Today we celebrate all of our coaches within Page County Public Schools. To those of you who give tirelessly to help our academic and athletic athletes succeed, we thank you. You are role models, mentors, and motivators. You coach athletes that are playing a sport for the first time, as well as those who are headed to play at the college level, and you do this with patience, determination, and pride. We appreciate the long hours you dedicate to our school division to help mold our student athletes into not only competitive athletes, but also into good people who will remember the impact you made on their lives. Today, we celebrate you!
