For too long, Virginia’s schools have been underfunded and overlooked.

Speaker Don Scott knows we can't have a thriving economy without great public schools—and it’s time we treat education as the investment in our future that it is.

He believes every child, in every zip code, deserves access to a world-class education. That means increasing funding for public schools, especially in underserved areas, and ensuring that teachers have the pay, respect, and resources they need to help students succeed.

Speaker Scott is committed to recruiting and retaining great educators, investing in early childhood education, after-school programs, and tutoring—because student success doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Virginia’s children should be equipped not just to compete, but to lead in the classrooms and careers of tomorrow.
