INFRASTRUCTURE – BUILDING MAINTENANCE
Quality of public school buildings and grounds is a health, educational, and environmental equity issue for families and communities. Facilities are not neutral! Many localities do not have a sufficient tax base to maintain their aging schools. Schools should be recognized and funded as an important component of our nation’s infrastructure. The State of Virginia should provide substantial and sustained investment to support renovation, new construction and debt service costs
