The Prince William Republican Women’s Club is excited to present a Homeschooling Legislative Forum on Wednesday, September 21st at 7:00 PM at the Montclair Public Library located at 5049 Waterway Drive, Dumfries, VA.
Our panel includes key legislators and leaders working to champion legislation and initiatives to empower Virginia families to provide the best education for their children. Former Virginia Attorney General and homeschool dad Ken Cuccinelli will serve as moderator and our panel includes Delegate Rob Bell, sponsor of Virginia’s Tebow Bill in the 2015 and 2016 Virginia Legislative Sessions and candidate for Attorney General in 2017, Dr. Wayne Stilwell, President of the Northern Virginia Homeschool Athletic Association and homeschool dad, Marty Nohe, Supervisor for the Coles Magisterial District and homeschool dad along Kevin Hoeft representing the Home Educators Association of Virginia (HEAV).
PWRWC is providing a unique opportunity for homeschool families to have direct access to our leaders battling for the rights of homeschoolers and to ask questions concerning the issues impacting the education of their children. These range from access to educational facilities, receiving the same tuition discounts for dual enrollment in our Virginia Community College System as students enrolled in public schools, opportunities to tryout for and participate on interscholastic sports teams and potential tax credits for families who homeschool their children saving local school systems millions of dollars.
This program is not just for homeschool families or parents of school age children. These issues impact our community as a whole including influencing our school system, our property values and the vibrancy of community.
I hope you will all attend and feel free to invite friends, neighbors and acquaintances who have an interest in the education of our children.
