Please reject the proposed Statewide Comprehensive Support Plan. This plan threatens the integrity of our excellent public education system and undermines local authority. Schools should be under local control.

Virginia's public schools are among the best in the nation, data supports this.And ye, this plan seems designed to artificially lower school ratings and justify an unprecedented state takeover.

This plan appears to advance a political agenda favoring school privatization, all the while bypassing the legislature and ignoring the real needs of our students and educators. Our schools are not perfect, but they need support, not state control. I am asking you to reject efforts toward privatization and reject this plan.
