[edit] Merger with governor's schools

No, this doesn't belong in the Governor's Schools article. This has been discussed several times, and they are different programs with a different charter -- the only connection is the word "Governor", much as "Virginia Power" and "Virginia Slims" both have the same word in their names but have wholly different origins.

[edit] Name Change

Article's name is confusing and would still be gramatically correct as just "Virginia Governor's Foreign Language Academy." No need to make the title plural and double possessive. VirginiaProp 23:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Since there are six separate academies, the name must remain plural. Although they have operated concurrently on a single campus as a "Global Village" since 2003, every effort is made to maintain the distinct characteristics and traditions of the individual academies. 141.104.23.101 (talk) 14:27, 13 December 2007 (UTC)Helen Small, Specialist for Foreign Languages, Virginia Department of Education
