[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youngkin says "Four More Years!"[/quote]

Let’s see what Youngkin does about staffing issues.

What happens if kids are in school but there aren’t enough teachers? Do they just put all of the kids in the gym for babysitting?

Anyone who thinks Youngkin cares even remotely about public schools has another thing coming. One of the first things out of his mouth after the election was that he was going to funnel lots of money into charter schools. He successfully tricked suburban white women into thinking he cares about their kids’ education. [/quote]

I think his target audience is actually the parents who pulled their kids OUT of public school and are now footing private school bills and paying taxes with vastly reduced buy-in to the local district (beyond property values). A lot of them will now likely support charter/vouchers rather than the public schools, and he will try to deliver for THOSE parents, not the ones remaining in public school. My kids' schools' regular enrollment is off by about 15% compared to pre-pandemic and other local elementaries are seeing a similar drop in numbers. LCPS has had to delay construction on like five new schools because of lower enrollment.

Our principal thinks if the mask mandate gets dropped, some of those kids might return. I think most will not, especially not if their parents think there's any chance of a covid vaccine mandate for public school kids.
