Education

We believe that all Virginia students should have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their zip code, race, immigration status, or country of origin. This includes having fully funded schools, affordable higher education and workforce training, and safe and supportive learning environments. We support legislation that will:

PreK-12

  1. Fully fund our public schools and ensure that they have the necessary instructional, support, and administrative staff.
  2. Strengthen programs that provide additional funding to support low-income students.
  3. Guarantee that all children have access to high-quality early childhood education.
  4. Provide free breakfast and lunch for all public school children.
  5. Collect and report data on the use of force, arrests, and other disciplinary actions taken by school resource officers (SROs) or other school security personnel.

Higher Education

  1. Allow undocumented Virginians to pay in-state tuition.
  2. Cover the full cost of higher education for low-income students and families, including tuition, required fees, course materials, and cost of living.
  3. Provide preferential admissions and tuition assistance to descendants of enslaved people who built Virginia’s public colleges and universities.

Creemos que todos los estudiantes de Virginia deben tener acceso a una educación de alta calidad, independientemente de su código postal, raza, estatus migratorio o país de origen. Esto incluye tener escuelas totalmente gratis, educación superior y capacitación de la fuerza laboral que sean financieramente accesibles, y entornos de aprendizaje que apoyen y sean seguros. Apoyamos una legislación que:

Pre-Kinder-12:

  1. Financiará completamente nuestras escuelas públicas y se aseguren de que tengan el personal de instrucción, apoyo y administración necesarios.
  2. Fortalecerá los programas que proporcionan financiamiento adicional para apoyar a los estudiantes de bajos ingresos.
  3. Garantizará que todos los niños tengan acceso a una educación de alta calidad en la primera infancia.
  4. Proporcionará desayuno y almuerzo gratuitos para todos los niños de la escuela pública.
  5. Recopilará e informará datos sobre el uso de la fuerza, arrestos y otras medidas disciplinarias tomadas por los oficiales de recursos escolares (SROs por sus siglas en Inglés) u otro personal de seguridad escolar.

 

Educación Superior:

  1. Permitirá a los estudiantes indocumentados en Virginia pagar la matrícula escolar estatal. Aumentará el acceso a la educación inicial para niños y familias de bajos ingresos.
  2. Cubrirá el costo total de la educación superior para estudiantes y familias de bajos ingresos, incluyendo la matrícula, las cuotas requeridas, los materiales del curso y el costo de vida.
  3. Proporcionará admisiones preferenciales y asistencia con la matrícula escolar a los descendientes de personas esclavizadas que construyeron colegios y universidades públicas de Virginia.
