## Resource

Virginia just passed a groundbreaking law letting any city or county ask voters to approve a new local sales tax—up to 1%—specifically for school repairs and new construction. After years of crumbling infrastructure, leaky roofs, and unsafe classrooms, this gives communities direct power to fund upgrades without relying solely on property taxes. While it’s not a silver bullet and could hit lower-income families harder, it’s a major step toward modernizing schools and recognizing that safe, updated learning spaces are essential for every student’s future.
