New Facebook Fan Page
We’ve told you before we’re on Facebook- but now we’ve established our “Fan” page, which should hopefully make following the latest school choice news a little easier. We invite you to check it out and hope you’ll become a “fan!”
Saying No to the Status Quo
So we know that this summer we’ve been doing a lot of blogging about school choice news from around the country. But that doesn’t mean are just sitting back and accepting the status quo here in Virginia. As Virginia students get ready to head back to school, we wanted to take a quick moment to update you on some of the things we’ve been working on here at School Choice Virginia as well.
We have had a busy summer, growing our coalition of school choice supporters across the Commonwealth. Our friends from the Alliance for School Choice have made some great introductions as well, and through them, we’ve been connecting with a number of great organizations and associations throughout Virginia. As we are always looking to expand our coalition, we look forward to involving these groups in our efforts and will continue our outreach to new groups as well. If you or an organization you represent would like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you!
As many of you have also noticed, we’ve been expanding our presence online this summer as well. Many of you have already joined us on Facebook, and just this month we have also joined Twitter- where you can follow all the latest news and information. If you aren’t already receiving our E-newsletters, we invite you to take a moment to sign up online. As well as our online presence, we’ve worked to keep school choice and education reform in the news as well. Recent stories in the Richmond Times Dispatch and The New Dominion underscore the need for education reforms in the Commonwealth.
In addition, Virginia’s state-wide and House of Delegates elections are heating up, so we are watching the candidates closely on their positions on education reform and school choice. We have noted that both candidates for Governor have been talking about charter schools, and we will continue to post news and information here on the blog, and invite you to share any news from any of the candidates in Virginia related to education.
Tomorrow we’ll be meeting with many of our coalition partners in Richmond as we gear up for the fall. We have lots of exciting projects in store, so we hope you’ll check back often to find out all the details!
