Historical Information

In 1970, the Governor's Management Commission Study recommended the creation of six "Deputy Governors" assist the Chief Executive in his managerial duties, compatible functions of government were grouped under these administrative heads, who would serve as the Governors top management team or "secretariats," as they are called now. The General Assembly in 1972 created six Secretariats positions initially. As government reorganized, that number fluctuated when government agencies expanded or consolidated.

The Secretary of Education assists the Governor in the development and implementation of the state's education policy. The secretary provides guidance to 16 colleges and universities, the Virginia Community College System, five higher education and research centers, the Department of Education, the state-supported museums, and other agencies in the Education Secretariat. All secretaries are appointed by the governor and serve at his will.

During the Administration of Governor Mark R. Warner (2002-2006) the Secretary of Education directed policy for education programs that involve multiple agencies including: Department of Education, Library of Virginia, Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia, Gunston Hall, Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Science Museum of Virginia and Virginia Commission for the Arts. While Virginia's Colleges and Universities are semi-autonomous, the Secretary of Education also plays a role in directing state policy for: Virginia Community Colleges, Christopher Newport University, George Mason University, James Madison University, Longwood University, Mary Washington University, Norfolk State University, Old Dominion University, Radford University, Richard Bland College, University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia Military Institute, Virginia State University, Virginia Tech, College of William and Mary, Roanoke Higher Education Center, Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center, and State Council of Higher Education.

Some of Governor Warner's education initiatives were: Higher Education restructuring, Education for a Lifetime, and Partnership for Achieving Successful Schools (PASS).

On 17 December 2002, Governor-elect Mark R. Warner named Dr. Belle S. Wheelan as Secretary of Education. Since 1998 Wheelan had served as President of Northern Virginia Community College. Previously, Wheelen served as President of Central Virginia Community College in Lynchburg, Provost of the Portsmouth campus of Tidewater Community College, Dean of Student Services at Thomas Nelson Community College in Hampton, and Director of Developmental Education and Director of Academic Support Services at San Antonio College in Texas. Wheelan served until June 2005 when she became president of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. She was succeeded by her deputy, Peter Blake. Blake served until the end of the Warner administration in January 2006.

Governor Warner announced in his first State of the Commonwealth Address in January 2002 the creation of a Higher Education Summit to find ways to support colleges and universities and make them more entrepreneurial. He established a steering committee composed of administrative and legislative leaders, college and university presidents, and business leaders. The steering committee met 30-31 May 2002 and the committee divided into workgroups devoted to the four study areas outlined by Governor Warner: Administration, Management, and Governance; Planning and Capacity; Workforce Development; and Research Capabilities and Centers of Excellence. The Governor's Higher Education Research Summit was held on 1 May 2003 in Newport News. Notable documents filed under Governor's Higher Education Summit include: memorandums for planning/logistics of summit, meeting notes, briefing books, and planning session materials for meetings.

On of the products of the Governor's Higher Education Summit was the creation of Governor's Research Panel to increase funding for research and development at Virginia's Colleges and Universities.

The 2005 Restructured Higher Education Financial and Administrative Operations Act (Restructuring Act) granted Virginia's colleges and universities more operational autonomy in return for meeting state higher education goals and performance measures. The law began as a charter university proposal from the University of Virginia, College of William and Mary and Virginia Tech in 2004 - the schools offered to accept less state financial aid in return for more freedom to set tuition rates. The Restructuring Act required the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) to develop performance indicators to measure whether the institutions are meeting the state's goals; SCHEV approved the Institutional Performance Standards developed by the colleges and universities. The Standards were submitted to the Governor, who made some changes, for approval. The Restructuring Act also required the governing boards of each public institution of higher education to develop and adopt biennially a six-year plan and submit it to SCHEV, Governor and the General Assembly money committees. Notable documents filed under the Higher Education Restructuring include: background materials on the charter university proposal, review of legislation, legislation, meeting notes, reports, presentation, correspondence, e-mail, and materials related to the development of performance measures and six-year plans as required under the Restructuring Act.

In 2004 a bipartisan coalition of state and local officials attempt to create a college in southern Virginia. The Harvest Foundation of the Piedmont pledged $50 million towards the establishment of a state-supported 4 year college in the Martinsville-Henry County region.

The New College Institute was established and funded in 2006.

Governor Warner vetoed legislation in April 2003 (HB2239) that claimed to prohibit undocumented students from receiving in-state tuition at Virginia's colleges and universities. Notable documents filed under Undocumented Aliens and In-State Tuition include: correspondence, legislation, talking points, meeting notes, articles, e-mail, reports, memorandums, and studies on this issue.

Education for a Lifetime Initiative, 2002-2005. 104-125 Extent: 7.35 cubic feet.

This subseries is housed in 21 boxes and is arranged by various aspects of the Education for a Lifetime Initiative. Governor Mark R. Warner's Education for a Lifetime initiative was a series of targeted reforms to improve a number of elements within the broad spectrum of "public education" including: Pre-Kindergarten (School Readiness Indicators), Accountability and Efficiency Reviews, Senior Year Plus (Path to Industry Certification), Teacher Support and Retention (Effective Mentoring and Turnaround Specialists), Preserving and Strengthening Higher Education, and Workforce Development (Race to GED and Career Readiness Certificates). The Education for a Lifetime Initiative was developed in 2002 and early 2003 and announced in September and October 2003. This subseries documents the development and implementation of various aspects of this wide ranging program. Most of the materials in this subseries are the records of Sarah Hopkins Finley, Deputy Secretary of Education. Subseries contains articles, agendas, correspondence, e-mail, meeting notes, executive issue briefs, recommendations, reports, surveys, memorandums, lists, presentations, budget documents, summaries, talking points, and legislation.

The Warner Administration developed three Working Groups (Accountability, Needs, and Financing) consisting of various education experts and stakeholders whose purpose was the development of valuable information for the formulation of an action and legislative agenda for public education in Virginia (accountability, unmet education needs and funding as they related to K-12 system). The Accountability Work Group examined what Virginia was doing to help low performing schools, noting what worked and what more need to be done to ensure their success. The Needs Work Group helped identify the most pressing educational needs that affect the achievement levels for students. The Finance Work Group looked at how Virginia could pay for the things needed. Records include membership lists, meeting notes, correspondence, surveys, reports, e-mail for the Accountability and Needs Working Groups.

The Education for a Lifetime, K-12 Plan was announced in September 2003. Notable records include: Education for a Lifetime Talking Points, September 2003 rollout (Pre-K, Project Graduation (SOL Remediation), Efficiency Reviews, Senior Year, Teacher Retention, and Higher Education (Box 108, Folder 5); Notes of K-20 Plan Development (Box 109, Folder 1); Governor's Meeting with Virginia Association of School Superintendents, 12 May 2003 (Box 109, Folder 2); Governor's Meeting with University Presidents, 15 April 2003 (Box 109, Folder 2); and Virginia Education Coalition Meeting with Governor, 5 May 2003 (Box 109, Folder 2).

Other significant materials about the initiative may be found in the following areas: Early Childhood Initiatives, Path to Industry Certification, Career and Technical Education, School Efficiency Reviews and Work Plans and Status Reports. The Work Plans and Status Reports are the records of Secretary of Education Belle Wheelan. The Higher Education, 2003 and Education Plan, K-12, 2003, materials provide an excellent, detailed, overview of the creation and implementation of the entire Education for a Lifetime Initiative (B123-B124).

In May 2000 the Virginia State Board of Education and the State Council of Higher Education (SCHEV) for Virginia created the Joint Task Force on the K-12 Teaching Profession to develop a series of recommendations on issues facing the teaching profession in Virginia. The Joint Task Force presented its recommendations to the Board of Education and SCHEV in June 2001 and they recommended that a committee be established to continue the work of the task force. The Committee to Enhance the K-12 Teaching Profession in Virginia was established in February 2002 by the Virginia Board of Education and SCHEV to design a comprehensive blueprint for advancing the teaching profession in Virginia.
