BOBBY ORROCK JOINS PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR EXECUTIVE ORDER SIGNING

FREDERICKSBURG, Va.—Delegate Bobby Orrock (VA-54) was asked by President Donald Trump to join him, multiple governors, members of Congress, and fellow school teachers in the Roosevelt room for the signing of the Education Federalism Executive Order this afternoon. This order launches a 300-day review of the Obama Department of Education’s regulations and guidance to school districts, then directs Secretary DeVos to revise or repeal the policies deemed to be a federal overreach.

“It was my distinct honor to join President Trump for the signing of the Education Federalism Executive Order. As a legislator in the Commonwealth, I am hopeful that this review and any subsequent actions by Secretary DeVos will make great strides toward bringing the control of our children and grandchildren’s education back to Virginia’s localities. Moreover, as a public school teacher of 38 years, I see it as critical that we loosen the stranglehold of regulations and directives on school districts put in place by the Obama Department of Education.

“While I have and will continue to fight for my constituents to keep Washington from interfering with what our local school boards deem best for their students, it is a refreshing change of pace, both as a Delegate and as a teacher, to see an administration seeking to return power to the states, local school boards, and ultimately, parents.”
