Agenda Item Summary: The Alexandria City Public Schools believes that local school divisions are best positioned to respond to the needs of students and families with the provision of adequate funding from the state to address mandates. To ensure that Virginia provides sufficient educational funding for its citizens, the Alexandria City School Board adopts a legislative agenda. ACPS will continue working with similar school divisions in our advocacy.

The 2021 Proposed Legislative Agenda was first reviewed at the October 21, 2020 Work Session. Board Member feedback from that work session was incorporated on page 2 of the legislative agenda to include language to support funding and financing of capital projects.
Background: Every year the school board adopts a legislative agenda which advocates for the needs of Alexandria City Public Schools.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends the School Board approve the proposed ACPS Legislative Agenda for 2021.
