Virginia's public schools are among the best in the nation, yet this plan seems designed to artificially lower school ratings and justify an state takeover by those trying to undermine public education.

In my opinion, 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.

Leave schools under local control and reject efforts toward privatization. As a Fairfax County taxpayer, I DO NOT support privatization.
