    LEGISLATION ACTION ITEM #1:  Approved with 82 votes

    LEGISLATION ACTION ITEM #2:  Approved with 45 votes yes,  27 votes no,  3 abstaining, 7 not voting
    VA PTA reaffirms our position in support of legislation granting a local option in setting school calendars and school year start dates.

    POLICY STATEMENT #1:  Approved with 67 votes yes, 1 abstaining, 14 not voting
    The Virginia PTA supports virtual and online schools designed to provide alternative learning opportunities for students in surrounding school districts insofar as those virtual schools do not divert funds or resources from localities. Virtual and online schools should comply with Virginia’s Standards of Accreditation.
