Legislation

2016 PWFT Legislative Agenda

+Oppose HB3 and SJ256

They grants constitutional authority to approve Charter Schools to the Virginia Board of Education, enlarging a bureaucracy, rather than granting that authority to  local school boards and the people who elect them. Research on charter schools suggest weakness in outcomes compared to traditional schools, governance problems, and high teacher turnover.

+Support legislation stipulating teacher performance evaluations are not  public records.

+Support increasing  access to the Virginia Preschool Initiative.
