Explanation
(This amendment provides $25,000 the first year and $25,000 the second year from the general fund to the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC), which is located in Richmond. The AITC is a statewide program for teachers with an agriculture and natural resource theme. The goal of the AITC program is to provide Virginia students, through their classroom teachers, with a basic knowledge of agriculture so they will have a better understanding of Virginia's top industry and its impact on the economy, the environment, the landscape, and the world. The workshops and materials are SOL based and are provided free of charge to teachers.)
