On the Issues
Ilryong believes in maintaining the high academic standards, modifying the Fairfax County Grading Scale, putting money into schools and not into county administration buildings, and placing education as a top priority. He wants to expand full-day kindergarten to a county-wide level and reduce achievement gaps between students by making improvements to No Child Left Behind.
Ilyrong also believes in a support rail to Dulles Airport and pushing the importance of using public transportation. He wants to fight for the extension of Washington Metro to Dulles and Tysons Corner. He would like to minimize disruption of traffic flow during HOT lanes construction by using traffic calming devices and working with local and state police, but also ensure that trees are replanted after construction of HOT lanes to provide a sound barrier and protection for nearby neighborhoods.
