October 18, 2023, Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) released two independent evaluations of its special education program. VDOE’s new Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Lisa Coons requested the evaluations, which were done by Dr. Robert Pasternack, Sam Howarth, and Nathan Levenson.

However, VDOE didn’t release the original report submitted by Pasternack or Coons’ comments to Pasternack indicating she wanted it revised. The invoices were not released either. This information had to be obtained via FOIA.
