Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The state Senate proposal would call for a mandatory 7% raise for all educators, with the state funding about half of the raises and local schools paying the remaining balance.
37% : In a presentation to the School Board, Prince William County Schools Chief Financial Officer John Wallingford said the school system is being held harmless for about $800,000 it lost in state funding in fiscal 2023 due to a Virginia Department of Education calculation error through the "skinny budget" that passed the General Assembly last month.
