Gilmore says he supports public education and opposes school voucher programs.
“My goal has always been to make our public schools—from the elementary school classroom to the college campus—the very best choice any Virginian can make for their education or the education of their children.” (K-12 Education Amendments to the Budget, 12/7/00)
In a statement to The Virginian-Pilot, Gilmore said, “I consistently have maintained that I would not support a voucher plan if it would be detrimental to public schools.”
