“I decided that
nothing in our schools was as important to the students as
their teachers and principals, and so I have made a proposal
that protects our core priority—the classroom.” Gov. Kaine,
January 14, 2009, State of the Commonwealth Address
(click)
The Governor and State Superintendent of Public Instruction
consider principals and assistant principals as instructional
personnel – NOT administrative support personnel.
During the annual NASSP-NAESP
National Leaders’ Conference (NLC) in Washington, DC, 450
principals met with legislators on Capitol Hill to discuss
federal funding for education and legislation to improve
services for K–12 schools. Above, Greg Wheeler (Appomattox),
Janice Koslowski (Loudoun), David Ellena (Chesterfield) and
Larry Lenz ( Essex) meet with Senator Webb.
Urge your
representatives to increase federal funding for education.
