#SchoolYoungkin On All the Great Things Happening in Virginia Public Schools!

Governor Youngkin has created a “tip line” to report instances of “divisive practices in schools” so he and his administration can see “what’s happening at a school level.” Please.
If the Governor really wanted to know what is going on in our classrooms, he could have just asked VEA. But since he decided to create a tip line, we think it’s time to #SchoolYoungkin on all the great things happening in Virginia public schools.
We’re asking VEA members and supporters to send an email to helpeducation@governor.virginia.gov to let Governor Youngkin know what it’s like to be a student, educator, or parent in public schools right now.
