RPV's 2008 Legislative Policy Agenda: Education

Looking ahead to an even better, safer, more prosperous and opportunity filled future, Virginia Republican leaders in the General Assembly are championing a forward-looking agenda for governing that builds upon their past accomplishments.

Education / School Construction

· Creating a permanent, perpetual School Construction Revolving Fund to better assist local school districts in financing construction and renovation. Leveraging innovative public-private financing and expertise will help build needed classrooms faster, at lower costs and in a more dynamic way.

· Implementing a management structure directly involving localities to identify the most effective and responsive method to deliver state support of school construction projects to local districts in need.

· Increasing the number and size of school projects financed, maximizing the funds available year-to-year for high-priority school construction needs. This additional financing option can complement currently offered state financing programs, which have a more static, less flexible one-size-fits-all approach.
