RICHMOND -- By unanimous votes, a bill to increase regulations and transparency of Virginia colleges' governing boards and a separate measure to add student and faculty representatives to such boards passed a House subcommittee Tuesday.
Restraint and seclusion of students in public schools would be more carefully regulated under a bill that has cleared the Senate and is now before the House of Delegates. Senate Bill 782, proposed by Sen. Barbara Favola, D-Arlington, passed the Senate, 35-4, last week.
