Education: Delivering Accessible, Top Notch Schools and Protecting Teachers
The importance of education for all was a driving force behind Alfonso's upbringing, with his mother dedicating her life to Arlington County Schools and supporting ESOL/HILT programs and educating the children of immigrants.
Alfonso recognizes that tomorrow's leaders are in our local schools. It is imperative they all have equal access to a high-quality Virginia education.
Our investment in the future's leading minds begins with good teachers -- protecting and promoting them is a key part of the strategy to prepare our children for the 21st century economy.
Alfonso has consistently worked to honor our teachers with a professional wage so they don't have to choose between making ends meet and serving our community.
