Issue Position

Reforming & Expanding Education
As a public school teacher of 38 years, Bobby knows what our schools need, and he views education as the gateway to jobs and opportunities for all children in the Commonwealth. In 2017, he voted for an additional $13 million toward K-12 education while increasing local school divisions' flexibility in allocating the funds. He supported a 2% pay increase for public school teachers which will take effect in 2018. Additionally, he voted to establish the Online Virginia Network to make it easier, more convenient, and more affordable for non-traditional college students to complete degrees at George Mason University or Old Dominion University.
