For the 2022-23 school year, there are 143 magnet public schools serving 153,580 students in Virginia.

We also have specialty schools.

Vouchers? Not likely in VA, but I'm sure Youngkin will try.

A voucher in Fairfax or Arlington is just a tax break for a family already sending their kid to private. I don't see it ever happening here. [/quote]

You are incorrect. 
Youngkin is already in talks with Betsey Devos. The only reason he has not tried this is L Louise Lucas.

If Republicans take charge of Virginia after mid terms or in 2024 Virginia schools will now be Alabama, Missouri, and Mississippi basically crap that you get to pay for and drive farther to.[/quote]

Youngkin is term limited and there is no way you could accomplish that kind of transformation in two years [/quote]

And he is enormously unpopular so the odds of another Republican being elected governor after him are slim. [/quote]

I'm sure he's very unpopular in your friend group, but polling data has been putting him at 50% or above for a while now. This is why it's useful to check things against one's own biases. Or maybe this is satire. Hard to tell these days.
