Education remains at the top of everyone's mind these days. No wonder, we continuously get reminders that our public education system in Virginia has been failing our children and teachers for years. From learning that Viriginia students have seen tremendous learning loss to the realization that some school boards have been keeping important information about students from their parents.
At the Virginia Education Opportunity Alliance, we are focused on protecting the rights of parents and students as clearly defined in the Virginia Constitution. Furthermore, we are working to ensure all students, no matter their zip code, have access to a quality education.
We can't do this alone. We need your help. We are hosting several informative events in the next few weeks to give you the power to become part of the solution.

I'll leave you with this. Winston Churchill once quipped, "My education was interrupted only by my schooling." We don't want that to be our legacy in Virginia.
We hope to see you soon,
