Virginia's school superintendents have formulated an outline for what they consider the main goals and objectives for the state's public schools.

Representatives from the Virginia Association of School Superintendents presented their Blueprint for the Future of Public
Education at Thursday's state Board of Education meeting.

The strategic plan approved by Virginia's 133 superintendents seeks to help Virginia's students become prepared for college and other post-secondary education, as well as careers.

It addresses school curriculum, student assessment, employee recruitment and retention, and state funding for K-12 education.
