[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like the VDOE under Youngkin would have policy levers over Governor's Schools in Virginia prior to the 2023 elections.

After all, it was Atif Qarni's demand that local school systems operating Governor's Schools come up with "diversity plans" that led Brabrand to change the TJ admissions process.

At a minimum, the VDOE might demand that local school systems operating Governor's Schools not employ certain "experience factors" in their admissions processes that are understood to discriminate against some students based on their SES in order to benefit other students.  [/quote]

Qarni lent his support to the effort, and put his foot in his mouth more than a few times in the process, but the changes weren’t driven by him. They were driven by the School Board and Brabrand. The genesis was when the admissions numbers for 2024 were released in the days immediately following George Floyd’s murder at the hands of the state of Minnesota. TJAAG brought the numbers to the ensuing Board meeting, and things started moving.[/quote]
