OUR CAMPAIGN GOALS

1. FUNDING TO SUPPORT QUALITY SCHOOLS

The General Assembly must restore K-12 funding to pre-recession levels, reversing the Support Staff Cap that cut funding by nearly $340 million every year since 2008. Also, the General Assembly must fund the Virginia Board of Education’s revisions to the Standards of Quality, which will increase the number of positions funded with state dollars, put more resources on the ground in every school in the Commonwealth, and free up local dollars so that localities can focus their spending on
improving salaries for all school employees.

2. PROFESSIONAL PAY FOR ALL EDUCATORS

Teachers and education support professionals are the backbone of successful schools. The future of Virginia public education depends on its ability to recruit and retain a highly-skilled and diverse workforce. Virginia teacher pay must, at minimum, be brought up to the national average, and all support professionals must earn a living wage.

3. PRO PUBLIC EDUCATION MAJORITY

It’s time for members of the General Assembly to commit to funding our future or step out of the way. VEA, the VEA Fund for Children and Public Education, and our allies commit to building a pro-public education majority in the Virginia House and Senate and holding our elected officials accountable for supporting Virginia students.
