Big Day for School Choice in Virginia!

February 10, 2009 · Filed Under Uncategorized 

In a very exciting final House vote today, both school choice measures we told you about yesterday were approved with bipartisan support in the House of Delegates!

  • Delegate Chris Saxman’s HB1965: Education Investment Tax Credit (EITC) passed 50-47
  • Delegate Bill Janis’s HB2104: Students with Disabilities Tuition Assistance Grant passed 59-39

We are very pleased that a majority of members of the House voted in favor of giving Virginia families control of their children’s education and allow students access to increased educational options! Please join us in thanking these Delegates for their support.

Our work has only just begun, though. Now, both of these measures will go to the Senate for consideration, and we need your help. Please visit our new Action Center today to learn what you can do to support school choice in Virginia.
