Discussing Virginia football’s disappointing season as it nears its end

To say Virginia football’s season has been underwhelming would be an understatement. Despite being projected to finish in the top half of the conference and being ranked in the AP Poll early in the year, the Cavaliers (4-5, 2-4 ACC) have still yet to clinch bowl eligibility entering the final quarter of the season.

KLUG: Increasing investment in U.Va. football is destined to fail

The University is not a football school. Unlike the University of Alabama, The Ohio State University and almost every other top football school in the United States, the University does not live and die for its team. When game day comes in Tuscaloosa or Columbus, the entire town is there, easily selling out stadiums that hold upwards of 100,000, while Scott Stadium struggles to fill beyond two-thirds capacity. Attending one of those universities elicits excitement from the majority of students, while the surrounding communities follow their teams with an almost religious zeal. Simply put, when people think about those schools, football is what comes to mind. The opposite is true in Charlottesville. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone whose first thought about the University would be football, instead of the Rotunda, academic tradition, Thomas Jefferson or Tina Fey.

Local students explore teaching as Virginia vacancies decline

FISHERSVILLE — Walking into a classroom full of students who are considering being teachers delighted Ryan Barber. The Waynesboro assistant superintendent was part of a group that answered questions from students in the Teachers for Tomorrow programs at Valley Career and Technical Center and the Shenandoah Valley Governor's School in Fishersville at the end of October. It was the second straight year the panel of superintendents and central office was hosted by the programs, giving students a chance to ask questions of those in leadership positions in Augusta County, Staunton and Waynesboro. Barber believes programs like Teachers for Tomorrow can plant seeds that hopefully grow in the years to come, eventually producing more and more teachers in area classrooms. Part of Barber's job is recruiting and hiring staff for Waynesboro Public Schools. Finding teachers is never easy, although according to the The Virginia Department of Education the numbers are improving. Since 2023, teacher vacancies across Virginia have dropped by almost 36% . In Region 5, which includes the Shenandoah Valley, the teacher vacancy rate is 1.4%, lower than the state rate of 2.5%. Those are good signs and programs like Teachers for Tomorrow can help identify students who are interested

New Grading Policy Leaves Students Frustrated

The new grading policy is among the many new policies being implemented in the 2026-2027 school year. The new grading policy contains rules regarding what teachers can assign and how the students’ grades will be weighted. The original grading policy was changed in 2020 with the superintendent at the time, and the Office of Instruction and Strategic Planning worked on the grading policy and grading handbook. The handbook at the time did not outline the policies very clearly, and schools were implementing them themselves.
