Henrico, Va. — Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor John Reid today unveiled the first phase of his Academic Excellence Agenda on his campaign Substack, The Reid Revolution. The agenda lays out a bold, conservative vision to restore discipline, rigor, and common sense in Virginia’s public schools by putting students and families first and rejecting the political agendas that have crept into the classroom.

Reid’s plan includes five key reforms:

·      Protecting students and respecting parents with full transparency

·      Banning DEI mandates and ending “equity grading”

·      Guaranteeing access to both college and career pathways in high schools

·      Publishing real, unfiltered performance data through a “Merit Matters” dashboard

·      Restoring classroom discipline by reinstating school resource officers, returning to real suspensions for serious infractions, and encouraging school uniform policies

In his announcement, Reid laid out the vision for his agenda saying, “Virginia has the people, the resources, and the potential to lead the nation again in education. But it’s going to take new leadership and a renewed commitment to putting students and families first. That’s what the Academic Excellence Agenda is all about.”
