The Virginia school board elections are some of the most critical races happening this election. It is important that we elect candidates that will promote education.
The Virginia Convention of States team offered a survey for all of the known candidates in New Kent, Spotsylvania, and York counties. Below are the responses from all candidates, that replied to the survey:
Candidate
District
Do you support education funds following the child instead of the school district?
Do you support the fundamental rights of the parent/guardian to direct the upbringing, education, health care, and mental health of his/her child?
Do you support extensively trained armed staff to protect children within the schools?
Do you oppose policies that allow boys to use the same bathrooms and locker rooms as girls (and vice versa), based on their gender of choice rather that their biological sex at birth?
Do you oppose the use of curricula and instructional materials that incorporate teaching on gender identity/sexual orientation issues or Critical Race Theory (CRT) without the prior written consent of the parent/guardian?
