I completely support continuing the current regulations regarding Governor' s Schools.  They work and this program is a boon for so many students who would otherwise not have these opportunities.

After reviewing the current regulations regarding Academic Year Governor's Schools, I fully support the continuation of the current regulations.  Academic Year Governor's Schools serve an important role in the education of high school students in our region of the state.

Support for current regulations governing jointly operated programs
 

I have been the director of an Academic Year Governor's School, the Central Virginia Governor's School for Science and Technology, for 15 years. I strongly support the current regulations. They work well for my school and, according to what I have heard from my fellow directors over the years, for their schools also. Thank you for your consideration.

AYGS Regulation Review
 

I feel that the current regulations governing jointly operated programs are working effectively and they should remain as is with no modification. I share my opinion from three viewpoints: as a current Director of one of Virginia's 19 Academic Year Governor's Schools, as an alumnus, and as a parent of a current Academic Year Governor's School student.
