Summary of Bill HR 2014 (2026 Special Session I, Virginia)

Purpose and Intent

  • HR 2014 is a House of Delegates resolution that commends Michele Wolford, a teacher with Virginia Beach City Public Schools.
  • The resolution recognizes her achievement as the 2026 Teacher of the Year at Larkspur Middle School and highlights her positive impact on students and the school community.

Key Provisions and Changes

  • Acknowledgment: The core content is ceremonial praise and recognition. The bill does not create new laws, funding, or policy changes.
  • Commendation: Michele Wolford is formally commended for her instructional excellence, relationship-building with students and colleagues, and efforts to support student well-being and outcomes.
  • Presentation: The Clerk of the House of Delegates is instructed to prepare and present a copy of the resolution to Michele Wolford as an expression of admiration.

Who/What is Affected

  • Primary beneficiary: Michele Wolford, the individual educator being honored.
  • Secondary beneficiaries: The broader Virginia Beach City Public Schools community and the Commonwealth’s educational community, which is publicly recognized for exemplary teaching.

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Prefiled Date: April 22, 2026.
  • Introduced/Presented: April 23, 2026 (House of Delegates).
  • Status: A ceremonial resolution; does not establish statutory requirements or authorize funding.
  • Sponsors: Primary sponsor is identified as Feggans; co-sponsor listed as Michael Feggans in the bill text (the sponsor naming may reflect a minor naming inconsistency in the record, but the intent is a commendation co-authored by a member of the House).

Implications

  • No legal or policy changes: As a resolution, HR 2014 functions as formal recognition rather than legislation with enforceable requirements.
  • Public acknowledgment: Provides formal recognition that can be cited in school and community contexts as an example of exemplary teaching.
  • Legislative record: Adds Michele Wolford to the record of individuals honored by the Virginia General Assembly, signaling support for high-quality teaching within the Commonwealth.

If you’d like, I can expand this with context on similar past resolutions and what constitutes a typical ceremonial resolution in Virginia’s General Assembly.
