Comments
This bill originated as an idea put forward by the College Leaders Program Class of 2010 at the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership. Half a dozen college students from across Virginia came up with the proposal that Sen. Deeds later decided to introduce after judging the group's legislative proposal the day before their graduation last June. Sorensen encourages and enables youthful citizens to engage in leadership roles and to participate fully in community life. This bill is one of several inspired over the past decade by College Leaders Program participants. Thanks to Emily Bowles, Hassan Abdelhalim, Christopher Diming, Lena Morrill and Katie Hunter for developing and defending the original proposal.
Thanks also to UVA student Sarah Ulmer, who was part of the team that came up with the idea for this bill!
Why does this have to get involved with SOL objectives? Will this be on the English SOL test?
