[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youngkin is attacking the accreditation standards as too lenient and not reflective of current school academic performance (https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/09/23/youngkin-school-ratings/).  With ACPS’s poor academic performance on the most recent SOLs, could some ACPS schools be at risk of losing accreditation if the standards are tightened and then Youngkin could use non-accreditation to exercise more control…..[/quote]

Control to do what- make some charter schools?

Or are you asking because you are interested in having reduced tuition at say the saints or country day? 
Vouchers would be great right- take away money from the poor and give it to the rich kids who are already accepted and can pay full tuition.[/quote]

Yes, Charter schools but I think that is a lesser concern (and might even help some students).  Of more concern, interfering with policies based on his claimed concerns about critical race theory and lack of parent rights, etc.  In essence, I do think ACPS is a mess academically but I suspect that any control Youngkin can obtain would be used to score political points against the “libs” and not to actually help students.[/quote]
