Education

Every Virginia child deserves the highest quality education possible. As a graduate of Virginia public universities and a student in Fairfax County public schools, I learned that our teachers are on the front lines in education. My record on improving education in Fairfax County shows that I:

  • Consistently supported pay raises for our teachers. Those who are on the front-lines of educating our children must empower our children to achieve their potential;
  • Co-sponsored legislation to strengthen the accountability of local school boards in Virginia;
  • Support making meaningful educational options available to parents, regardless of their economic situation. Research shows that everyone wins – teachers, parents, and especially students – with effective school choice;
  • Support adequate funding for the state-supported Virginia colleges and universities;
  • Support measures to strengthen accountability and make sure all Virginia students have the chance to get the higher education they need.
