回答你一下。Youngkin虽然竞选后期拼命说教育,其实能做的有限。教育都是郡里管,钱都是校董会来批。但是TJ是少有的州长能说了算的。
One area in which Youngkin has more power to act is that of Governor’s Schools, the handful of magnet high schools and summer programs in Virginia that serve gifted students. The state’s department of education administers the programs, although local school boards and superintendents are allowed input, meaning Youngkin’s administration could enact change almost unilaterally.
Youngkin has already promised changes to the admissions process at Virginia’s flagship magnet school, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, a STEM-focused institution that is frequently rated the best high school in the nation.
Fairfax County school officials last year enacted major changes to Thomas Jefferson’s admissions process, eliminating a notoriously tough test and asking reviewers to consider applicants’ “experience factors” such as socioeconomic background. The revisions led to the acceptance of the most diverse class of students in recent memory.
Youngkin’s campaign told The Post in September that he would seek to reverse these changes and ask the school to revert to a solely merit-based process.
