Education

Maria believes quality education is an important factor in creating a strong foundation for future generations across Prince William County. All children deserve equal opportunities to excel and achieve their goals. It is our responsibility to create the environment at home and at school conducive to student success. Maria believes Virginia needs to invest more funds in classrooms and pay our hard-working teachers salaries comparable to other government employees with the same level of education. Virginia needs to attract and retain high quality teachers ensuring they are respected and protected in the workplace. Education works best at the local level, when the students and parents take responsibility and ownership of the system.
