Plain-language change summary

The recently amended HB 355 introduces a requirement for school boards in Virginia to reply to requests for employment verification of former employees within 10 working days. This means if one school board wants to verify an employee's past work history with another school board, they must get a response promptly. This change is important because it streamlines the process for hiring schools, helping them make quicker and more informed hiring decisions, which ultimately can benefit students and educational continuity.
