The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is generating numerous new regulations that will have a significant impact on the way Americans access healthcare. That’s why the Thomas Jefferson Institute and the Mercatus Institute have joined to co-sponsor a policy dinner discussion on February 6 with Mercatus Senior Research Fellow Jerry Ellig, co-author of a new Mercatus Center study finding that, in the rush to implement key provisions of the ACA, the federal government produced poorly substantiated claims about the ACA’s benefits and costs. The dinner will be held at the Wildfire Restaurant in Tysons Galleria in McLean.

How a Virtual School Might Benefit Your Students and Your School Division —
Last your, Carroll County Public Schools' Virginia Virtual Academy instructed 100 elementary school students. This year, the school is attracting 400 students -- from more than 70 school divisions throughout the state. They joined more than 175,000 full-time students in full-time online schools in our nation.
A new 2010 law makes it easier to start a virtual school, and our November 17 Education Policy Luncheon will consider important questions to help School Boards and Superintendents decide on the creation of a virtual school: What are the finances of a virtual school? What financial support is offered by the state? How are students taught long distance? What is the academic performance of students taught "virtually?"
Speakers include --
- Dr. James "Greg" Smith, Superintendent of Carroll County Public Schools
- Suzanne Sloane, Head of School for the Virginia Virtual Academy
- Beverly A. Parker, Director of School Improvement, Accountability and Testing for CCPS
This Ninth Annual Education Policy Luncheon will be held on Wednesday, November 17, at The Williamsburg Lodge, located at 310 South England Street. Luncheon fees are only $25.
