The students that are in these early grades now will be the students that take the high school level SOLs in 2013-14 when the pass rate will be 100%.

People who are not serious about education want to defund the programs that make our school systems some of the best in the country. Roadblocks and hurdles are all they are interested in creating so they can point to us and say that we’ve failed. Then they will say the only alternative are vouchers that will further decimate our system. I thank you for standing up for educators and I hope that the parents of Virginia schools are reading this so we can vote the men and women out who voted for this shameful legislation.
