Governor Warner's Partnership for Achieving Successful Schools is a statewide initiative that fosters intense community involvement with schools that are having difficulty reaching targeted levels of academic performance and specific SOL goals.  Through partnerships with the civic, educational and business community surrounding each PASS school, students and their families receive focused assistance to help them boost SOL scores and otherwise improve their overall schooling experience.

(Dancing) Governor Warner Keeps a Promise to Get Down

Governor Mark Warner made good on a promise he gave to students at Jeter-Watson Intermediate, a former PASS Priority school in Covington, Virginia:  In 2002, the Governor vowed that if the school passed all of its SOLs, he would come back and dance with them.  After last spring's testing, Jeter-Watson did indeed join the ranks of SOL accredited schools -- and with a perfect score in math for two years running!  So here are a couple of photos of the Governor -- dutifully if not always gracefully -- gettin' down.
