What is really behind the push for College and Career Readiness in Chesterfield County Schools and across Virginia? In this public comment, education researcher Lynne Taylor raises concerns about the influence of the Aurora Institute, public-private partnerships, student data tracking, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Taylor argues that federal and state education policies are increasingly aligning students with workforce and economic objectives rather than traditional academics. She also connects Virginia’s College and Career Readiness policies to Common Core, human capital development, workforce pipelines, federal funding, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, urging the Chesterfield County School Board to examine who is shaping education.
