About the cover: Nope, that’s not a typo on the cover! We know all about reading and writing and wouldn’t dare make a mistake like that on the cover of our education-themed issue. But hopefully we got your attention because the winners of our annual “If I Were Mayor” essay contest for 7th and 8th graders have put their ideas on paper and we’re pleased to share them – along with several articles dealing with education – in this issue of VTC.

Inside:

• Innovation Awards call for entries
• Goodbye to the support cap:  A victory in education for Virginia’s local governments
• Falls Church’s intern on an education in legislation
