Virginia’s Lt. Gov. candidates Hashmi and Reid clash over education: Hashmi pushes funding reform for high-need students; Reid advocates accountability, school choice, and funding for private/homeschooling.
Virginia lieutenant governor candidates Ghazala Hashmi and John Reid offer opposing education plans.
Hashmi advocates for overhauling the state’s outdated school funding to better serve high-need students, pushing for more mental health and career support.
Reid, while acknowledging Virginia’s $21 billion biennial education investment, calls for greater accountability and data-driven results, suggesting underperforming schools may need closure and supporting public funding for private schools and homeschooling.
He says his goal is choice and results, not abandoning public schools.
Hashmi has pushed back, accusing Reid of seeking to shut down public schools, a claim he does not fully deny.
No debate has been scheduled, so their views come from media interviews.
