An event announcement rom our Friends at The Middle Resolution:
The Middle Resolution and the Virginia Institute for Public Policy are pleased to announce Virginia’s Annual Education Summit. The theme of this year’s summit will be Every Child, Every Option, Every Future: Unleashing Virginia’s potential through education. Education should embrace technology, innovation, and the entrepreneurial spirit that has made America a great nation. We will explore the educational opportunities that currently exist for families and educators in Virginia–and, more importantly, how we can expand those opportunities to all families, regardless of income.
We are excited to announce we have invited Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle Sears and Former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger to share their vision for addressing the challenges with the inequity in Virignia’s education system.
LG Winsome Earle Sears (Invited) and Former Congresswoman Abigail Spanbeger (Invited)
Confirmed is Superintendent of Public Instruction, Emily Anne Gullickson. Emily Anne comes from a deep background in the hybrid school space and will share Virginia’s strategies for providing children with an education that ensures their success.
Joining us from the Institute for Justice will be Erica Smith Ewing. Erica has been at the forefront of the education freedom movement. She and her colleague, Dick Komer, were lead counsel in the US Supreme Court case, Espinoza v. Montana Dept. of Revenue.
Their victory ensures governments can’t violate the Free Exercise Clause by leaving out religious schools and families from school choice programs.
