Literacy Equity in Danville Public Schools

While equality often means treating all students the same, literacy equity according to the VDOE “ensures every student has access to a rigorous, culturally relevant, systemic approach to reading instruction that facilitates deeper learning and the development of future-ready skill sets as outlined in the Profile of a Virginia Graduate and the Virginia 5 C’s.”  Danville Public Schools is committed to providing high-quality, rigorous, equitable, literacy instruction that supports all students and provides an opportunity for all students to be lifelong learners prepared for future success in reading, writing, and communicating.
