In 1779, Thomas Jefferson proposed his Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge , the purpose of which was to “diffuse knowledge more generally through the mass of the people” for the purpose of “rendering the people safe, as they are the ultimate guardians of their own liberty.” In 1869, the Virginia General Assembly adopted a constitution providing for a system of free public schools. Today, Virginia’s 137 school divisions are governed by 134 local school boards and provide education for over one million students in nearly 1,900 public schools. Virginia is viewed as a national leader in meaningful educational reform, having one of the finest public school systems in the nation. Our commitment to educational excellence is reflected in the outstanding levels of student achievement earned by Virginia school children in kindergarten through twelfth grade.

Though a state Literary Fund was established in the early 1800's, it was not until the North forced Virginia to adopt a new state constitution that a free public school system was established for all Virginia students. It was not until the civil rights movement and Title X that all races and genders would receive equal treatment in the public schools According to the National Association of College Stores , there are about 15 million college students, attending 4,000+ colleges and universities in the United States - 10% with enrollments greater than 10,000, in the United States.

Koelemay's Kosmos Doug Koelemay Virginians of the Year Fifteen women and men used the challenges of 2002 to show Virginians what resilience, commitment and leadership are all about. S electing Virginians of the Year , even for a Kosmos-sized piece of Bacon's Rebellion, requires one to seek out candidates with vision, courage, honesty, leadership and accomplishment. Reviewing the challenges and events of 2002 brings the 15 women and men who lead the senior colleges and universities of the Commonwealth right to the top of the list. The selection process was straightforward. Standing where budget deceit and real numbers collide, where quality education competes with passing fancy and where political pressures whittle down truth, 13 presidents, one superintendent and one chancellor were honest in putting the difficult financial and quality choices squarely to their students, faculty, staff and boards of visitors.

The History of Waterford, Virginia Part of the Waterford village web site Waterford history home page History index Education in Waterford Written by by John Divine for the Waterford Foundation The history of education in Waterford did not begin with the present school system. When the Commonwealth of Virginia established free schools in 1820, the children of Waterford had benefited from private schools for more than half a century. Waterford was basically a Quaker community and The Society of Friends was always conscious of the value of a good education for the children of its members. In providing for their own they did not exclude those of other faiths from their schools. Today there stand in Waterford buildings that have served the community as places of education, both public and private. Although documentation in some cases is meager we will attempt to construct a brief history of each school from known facts and local legend. The Friends Meeting House School (Loyaly Road) The brick structure standing to the east of the Meeting House was built in 1805-06. John Williams (1771-1840), prominent Quaker and local business man, disbursed the funds and had general supervision of the construction. Jacob Divine, a local stone and brick mason, was the builder. Joseph Hough was a teacher in this school at one period of time. Hough later left Waterford to settle in Newton, Iowa, where his descendent

Volume 2, Issue 16, April 20, 2004 Virginia Schools Cut Math Classes to Increase Lottery Sales The Virginia Department of Education is systematically reducing math education throughout the state in an effort to boost sales of lottery tickets. "Our decision to reduce the math requirements must be understood in the broader context of the Virginia Education System," said Superintendent Jo Lynn DeMary. "Overall, I believe we have acted appropriately to preserve the education system as a whole." The Virginia State Lottery was approved by voters in 1987. The use of the proceeds has changed over time. In 1989, lottery proceeds were dedicated to capital construction projects. From 1990 to 1998, the lottery proceeds were transferred to the state’s General Fund. Starting in 1999, a state budget amendment sent lottery proceeds to local public school divisions to be used solely for educational purposes. In the year 2000, more than 80% of Virginia voters said yes to the creation of the State Lottery Proceeds Fund. The measure, now a permanent part of Virginia's Constitution, directs all Virginia Lottery profits be used solely for educational purposes. "The Lottery provided over $375 million in support for our education system last year," said DeMary. "We cannot afford to see this source of support shrink due to lack of participation. Unfortunately, this meant that certain sacrifices were necessary."

We also strongly urge that existing state sources of K-12 education funding be preserved. Discussion of priorities and recommendations on other significant issues We offer the following discussion of these main priorities, and make additional recommendations for positions on other significant issues. STANDARDS OF QUALITY FCCPTA supports a significant increase in state education funding, so that the state fully funds its share of the actual costs of meeting the Standards of Quality (SOQ). We also support basing the SOQs on prevailing practices in local school divisions. Further, FCCPTA strongly urges the governor and General Assembly to continue to implement recommendations from the
