Governor Youngkin’s Lab School initiative is off to a fairly good start, although it is probably not progressing as quickly as he thought or hoped it would.
According to the Department of Education (DOE), the department has received two applications for the establishment of a lab school— from James Madison University and Southside Community College. In addition, it has received applications from 12 institutions for planning grants for lab schools. They are:
- University of Mary Washington
- Mountain Gateway Community College
- Old Dominion University
- George Mason University
- Virginia Commonwealth University
- University of Lynchburg
- Eastern Shore Community College
- New College Institute
- University of Virginia
- Germanna Community College
- Emory and Henry College
- Virginia State University
