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 Timothy M. Kaine (2006-2010) 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 Kaine's education initiatives were: early childhood initiatives, high school reform initiatives, Achieve: American Diploma Project, and teacher quality.
On 6 January 2006, Governor-elect Tim Kaine named Dr. Thomas Morris as Secretary of Education. Prior to his appointment, Dr. Morris served as the president of Emory and Henry College for 13 1/2 years. A distinguished Constitutional scholar and political scientist, he was a distinguished faculty member at the University of Richmond for 21 years.
A native of Galax, Virginia, Secretary Morris earned a bachelor's degree in government at Virginia Military Institute, studied at Princeton University, then completed master's and doctoral degrees in government at the University of Virginia. He received fellowships for additional advanced study including a year as a Liberal Arts Fellow at the Harvard Law School and a year as a fellow of the National Endowment for the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
During his teaching career at the University of Richmond, Dr. Morris was selected to leadership posts and honored for excellence in the classroom. He was honored as a University Distinguished Educator, received many faculty research grants, and served as chair of the Faculty Council.
Secretary Morris is widely known as an expert on Virginia government and politics. He is the author or co-author of four books, including Virginia Government and Politics: Readings and Comments, Fourth Revised Edition, a 1998 work co-edited with Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia. He co-authored a chapter entitled "Republicans Surge in the Competitive Dominion" in a book published by LSU Press, Southern Politics in the 1990s. He also wrote a chapter on Virginia Governor Douglas Wilder for a nationally circulated book entitled Governors and Hard Times, published in 1992 by Congressional Quarterly Press, and in 1994 a chapter on Virginia and the Voting Rights Act in Quiet Revolution in the South, Princeton University Press. Dr. Morris has written an additional 17 major articles or book chapters.
Dr. Morris was well known as a political analyst for television, radio, and print media over a period of twenty-five years. He chaired the Commission on Virginia's State and Local Tax Structure for the 21st Century (1999-2000) and was a member of Governor Warner's Commission on Efficiency and Effectiveness (2002).

Extent: 8.0 cubic feet (8 boxes).
The Constituent Correspondence series is housed in 8 archival boxes and is arranged roughly by chronological order by last action taken. This series documents constituent correspondence received by the Office of the Secretary of Education during Governor Tim Kaine's administration.

Each letter in this series contains a unique tracking number assigned by the Governor's Office Constituent Services. Records are arranged by outgoing tracking number.
Correspondence from 2009, additional correspondence from 2006 to 2008 as well as correspondence submitted via email can be found in boxes 13 and 14.

This series has been processed using minimal processing standards: the original arrangement has been maintained, the container list is brief and simple, and the records have not been refoldered and fasteners have not been removed.

Subseries VIII.A. Virginia's P-16 Education Council,
2006-2009.
Extent: 0.35 cubic feet (1 box).
This subseries is housed in one box and is arranged chronologically. Governor Mark Warner's Executive Order 100 created Virginia's P-16 Education Council in October 2005. The Secretary of Education served as Chair. The Council's responsibilities included: identifying opportunities to better coordinate the state's education reform efforts from preschool to graduate school; serve as steering committee for oversight of the state's education reform activities as part of the National Governors Association (NGA) Honor States Grant; and develop approaches to improve transitions among levels of education. Governor Tim Kaine's Executive Order 40 issued in October 2006 continued the P-16 Education Council. The new order added an additional responsibility: work closely with the Start Strong Council and other entities to ensure that pre-K and early childhood initiatives are coordinated with other education initiatives.
Many of the P-16 Council meeting files include handwritten notes probably written Kendall Tyree, Special Assistant to the Secretary of Education.

Subseries VIII.B. Early Childhood Initiatives,
2002-2009.
Extent: 1.05 cubic feet (3 boxes).
This subseries is housed in three boxes and contains records from Governor Mark Warner (2002-2006) and Governor Kaine. It appears to be a mix of files from Sarah Finley, Deputy Secretary of Education during the Warner Administration and Kendall Tyree, Special Assistant to the Secretary of Education during the Kaine administration. The original order has been maintained. This subseries includes agendas, meeting notes, correspondence, presentations, and reference material. Governor Kaine's early childhood initiatives included the Start Strong Council and the Governor's Working Group on Early Childhood Initiatives. On 16 January 2006, Governor Tim Kaine issued Executive Order 7 creating the Start Strong Council to develop expanded access to quality pre-kindergarten for Virginia's four-year olds. In July 2007, the Council completed its intensive study of pre-school opportunities for Virginia and presented six recommendations to Governor Kaine. The Council issued their final report in August 2007. Governor Kaine in December 2007 announced his voluntary program to gradually expand access to preschool for Virginia's four-year olds.
Governor Kaine issued Executive Directive 3 on 10 August 2006 creating the Governor's Working Group on Early Childhood Initiatives. The Working Group, chaired by the Secretary of Education was responsible for coordinating the Governor's early childhood initiatives; served as primary link between Start Strong Council, Virginia Early Childhood Foundation, and existing early childhood programs within the executive branch; strengthen partnerships with state and local elected officials and non-profit and private sectors to build long-term commitment to early childhood education; and provide policy support to the Start Strong initiative. Governor Mark Warner's Pre-Kindergarten/Early Childhood initiative, part of Education for a Lifetime, provided a foundation for Governor's Kaine's programs.

Subseries VIII.C. High School Reform Initiatives,
2002-2007.
Extent: 0.88 cubic feet (3 boxes).
This subseries is housed in three boxes. In June 2005, Virginia received a National Governors Association (NGA) Honor States Grant to implement redesign initiatives to improve graduation rates and college readiness. The goals of the grant were: decreasing ninth and tenth grade retention in high school, increasing mathematics proficiency, decreasing the number of high school dropouts, increasing the number of high school graduates, increasing college readiness of high school graduates by reducing the number of developmental courses taken by recent graduates, increasing the number of students who immediately attend college, and increasing college graduation rates. This policy initiative continued in the Kaine administration.
Many of these records appear to belong to Sarah Finley, Deputy of Secretary of Education (2002-2005) and Kendall Tyree, Special Assistant to the Secretary of Education. Box 46, folders 5-7 contain Tyree's notes and meeting agendas for many of the Warner and Kaine administration's education initiatives.

Subseries VIII.D. Achieve: American Diploma Project (ADP),
2006-2008.
Extent: 1.05 cubic feet (3 boxes).
This subseries is housed in three boxes. Achieve is a nonprofit education organization created to support standards-based education reform efforts across the states. In 2005, Achieve launched the American Diploma Project (ADP) Network in order to make college readiness a priority in the states. ADP Network states were committed to improving "postsecondary preparation by aligning high school standards, graduation requirements and assessment and accountability systems with the demands of college and careers." ADP focused on aligning high school standards and assessments with the knowledge and skills needed for college and careers; establishing a college- and career-ready curriculum to prepare high school graduates for post secondary education; and developing statewide high school assessment benchmarks in mathematics and English. As part of ADP, Virginia participated in Achieve's Alignment Institute Initiative. As part of this initiative, Virginia conducted a higher education survey for college readiness with a focus on essential English and mathematic skills required by Virginia institutions. Deputy Secretary of Education Judy Heiman and Special Assistant Kendall Tyree worked on ADP.

Subseries VIII.E. Workforce Development,
2006-2010.
Extent: 0.35 cubic feet (1 box).
This subseries is housed in one box and is arranged in chronological order. On 21 March 2006, Governor Tim Kaine named Daniel C. LeBlanc, former President of the Virginia AFL-CIO and Kaine's failed nominee for Secretary of the Commonwealth, as Senior Advisor to the Governor for Workforce. Executive Order 25 issued by Governor Kaine on 23 June 2006 delegated his authority as Chief Workforce Development Officer to the Senior Advisor to the Governor for Workforce and further clarified the Advisor's duties and responsibilities. This order was issued to ensure that initial transition steps occurred to implement the 2006 legislation. Kaine's Executive Order 61, issued on 4 January 2008, rescinded Executive Order 25 and was issued to ensure that the next phase of transition occurred including: the creation of a Workforce Sub-Cabinet to ensure Cabinet collaboration regarding workforce development as required by state and federal statute; listing of the duties of the Cabinet Secretaries and designating the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) as the designated state agency for the WIA, including that of grant recipient and fiscal administrative agency. This subseries includes meeting material for Workforce Sub-Cabinet meetings (agendas, handouts, and notes) attended by Secretary of Education Tom Morris and other workforce related records.

Subseries VIII.F. Teacher Quality,
2006.
Extent: 2.0 cubic feet (3 boxes).
This subseries is housed in two boxes and is arranged in alphabetical order by school division. Teacher evaluation was one of three teacher quality initiatives by the Kaine administration (teachers' salaries and teacher recruitment and retention were the other two). The primary purpose of teacher evaluation is to improve instruction and enhance student achievement by providing timely and meaningful feedback and support to the teacher. Evaluation is also a mechanism for professional growth and development. Teacher evaluation should be one part of a larger system that fosters learning communities in schools by creating supportive structures that enhance student achievement, teacher growth and retention. Such structures include a quality induction program with mentoring of new teachers, embedded professional development focused on teacher and school goals, effective and supportive leadership and a collaborative environment that encourages collegiality and teamwork. This subseries contains the established policies and practices for evaluation by each school division submitted to the Secretary of Education as required by legislation passed in 2006.
