An email from Governor Glenn Youngkin reminded us that this is school choice week in Virginia.

The governor’s proclamation highlights the importance of school choice for students and parents in Virginia.

The governor states in the email that he will stand up for students and parents and sign the largest education budget in Virginia history.

The budget includes $150 million to kick start 20 new charter schools in the Commonwealth.

The governor states he will offer students and parents choice and innovation in K-12 public education.

The governor hopes to raise standards and pay for teachers with the budget as well.
