January 22, 2020 Oppose Virginia HB 521

URGENT ACTION NEEDED

VA LEGISLATURE UPDATE A bill, HB 521, to repeal the Education Improvement Scholarship Tax Credit has been introduced by Delegate David Bulva (D-Fairfax). This bill would completely repeal the tax credit scholarship program and remove school choice from dozens of our students, and over 4,500 children accross the Commonwealth. Many of you helped us raise $172,000 to give students the ability to choose GCS. This bill's goal is to give the VA DOE back the control over these students.

It is important for the GCS community, staff, and parents to express their views of HB 521 to their Delegates.    Please contact your Delegate here  – or personally if you know him or her – and urge them to vote against HB 521 , the bill to repeal the Education Improvement Scholarship Tax Credits, when it comes up for a vote.

OPPOSE HB 521 Delegate G. John Avoli Cities of Staunton and Waynesboro, 20th District (804) 698-1020   DelJAvoli@house.virginia.gov Outside of Staunton City? Find your Delegate here. Thank you for taking action today and sharing this alert with others.

This process will move quickly. The General Assembly will complete action by March 14. If we can kill the bill before “crossover” on February 10, we will help the thousands of children and families that count on this program's support.
