Kirk's ALL Initiative will
- Mobilize current, former and substitute teachers to provide unprecedented one-on-one tutoring
- Extend summer remediation opportunities for all students
- Offer tax-free compensation for teachers who participate in summer school programs

Keeping
Virginia Safe
Kirk is committed to strongly supporting law enforcement and strengthening policies that will keep our communities safe. This starts with fully funding our police, reforming the Parole Board, and prosecuting violent criminals to the fullest extent of the law.
As Governor, Kirk will:
- Invest $50 million in year one to raise law enforcement salaries, as part of the Partnership for a Safe Virginia plan.
- Veto Democrat proposals to repeal mandatory minimum sentences and weaken penalties for drug dealers.
- Reform the Parole Board, which was caught last year breaking the law and releasing violent criminals early.
