July 21, 2016 — Earlier this month, Governor Terry McAuliffe announced that Superintendent Dr. Pat Murphy would serve on the Standards of Learning (SOL) Innovation Committee. The new members of the SOL Innovation Committee will build on the work of the inaugural group by pursuing additional reforms.

Membership on the committee was determined following an exhaustive review of stakeholder recommendations and applications. The citizen members of the SOL Innovation Committee were selected by Virginia Secretary of Education Anne Holton.

The SOL Innovation Committee will continue to provide recommendations in accordance with Governor McAuliffe’s call to “be bold” when rethinking SOL assessments and innovation in the K-12 system.
