Both the House and Senate released their proposed budgets, and there are significant investments in K-12 public education, including two major line items: raising the support cap and add-on funding for Special Education.

Here are a few Education highlights from the Senate budget:

• Crucial funding priorities outlined within the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission’s (JLARC) report on the K-12 Funding Formula, including $222.9 million to raise the support cap and $52.8 million to fund a special education add-on
• $13 million across the biennium to support mathematics education in our K-12 schools
• $5,138,000 to support the statewide learning management system for Virginia’s K-12 Schools
