Noteworthy

Reduced funding for colleges and universities means many qualified Virginia students are denied admission because they lack enough faculty, buildings and equipment; 61,000 new students are predicted by 2010.

The 2008 Session is a Success for Virginia's Students!

You sent hundreds of emails and faxes and made countless phone calls about the importance of education funding. 

In a tough economic climate, your voices were heard!

  • Preschool:   The Governor and the General Assembly agreed to invest $22 million to expand the Virginia Preschool Initiative, meaning thousands of additional at-risk four-year-olds will have the chance to attend a quality preschool in the coming years!
  • Funding Public Education:   The Governor and the General Assembly "re-benchmarked" the Standards of Quality.   
  • Preserving At-Risk Programs:  Most programs for K-12 at-risk students were saved from the chopping block!  The Governor and the General Assembly agreed that no matter how bad the times, the Commonwealth should never stop investing in its most vulnerable students.

We must keep up the fight!  Virginia is the 5th wealthiest state in per capita income, yet ranks just 33rd in state support for education. 

OUR WORK CONTINUES, AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE!
