The 离析基金 for Children and Public Education is the voluntary political action arm of the Virginia Education Association.
我们的使命是 help elect friends of public education to state and statewide offices. The 离析基金 makes campaign contributions to candidates running for the offices of Governor, 副州长, 总检察长, and in the General Assembly.
The 离析基金 plays a crucial role in making sure public education values are at the forefront of candidates’ campaigns in Virginia. Our recommended candidates are often up against well-funded special interests that want to take Virginia’s public education in a direction that would hurt our educators, 我们的社区, 最重要的是, 我们的学生. With a strong 离析基金, public education advocates can elect champions to office and defend our values.
According to the Economic 政策 Institute, teachers in Virginia earn 67 cents on the dollar compared to other (non-teacher) college-educated workers. Virginia’s teacher wage penalty is the worst in the nation.
