Northern Virginia’s number one product is knowledge capital produced by a high quality workforce. The key to delivering a high quality work force and maintaining this asset is ensuring our children receive a first rate education.

- Protect funding for high performing schools

- Take aggressive action to improve lower performing schools

- Fight for Alternative Energy funding that President Obama is proposing to implement clean energy measures in VA public school facilities & use the savings to offset current and projected school budget shortfalls

- Work to maximize corporate sponsorship and involvement in science and technology education

- Initiate a study of school bus usage and seek to use smaller & less costly vehicles if practical
