Arlington School Board candidates

[Anonymous]

I went and looked up the campaign donations too. Fascinating. Zuraya raised the most money but it was mostly from people outside of Arlington, and a lot of them are lobbyists! Blech.

Chen apparently has only raised money from 4 individuals and took out a $10K loan for his campaign. Zuraya right now is funded almost exclusively by other Hispanic people. Kathleen is the only one that has raised money from a diverse group of people of names I mostly recognize. And of course, I can't find Larry's financial disclosures.

Larry has taken literally zero dollars in donations. Said he'll put a donate button on his website if he gets nominated. Can't figure out if that's noble or really naive. Probably both.

And police-free. I don’t even like the SSOs and would love to kick them out. There are problems at Wakefield, but not because of those Brown and Black “gangs” like Larry and fellow racists go to. Please.

So that leaves Kathleen and Zuraya. Who are the two who will win anyway.

So what ARE the problems at Wakefield and what are your solutions?

Love when anonymous posters type like they know whats going on at a school more than someone who teaches there. Larry worked as a LULAC liason to the NAACP and got an Honored Citizen Award for it but you really nailed it calling him a racist. Ha!

Maybe you're thinking about this that Larry said at 19:35 at the ArlDems / Young Dems forum? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v-aR5tOiyw)
Where he talked about being a teacher at Wakefield when a trespasser with a gun came into the school pursuing a student? Where he never said he was in favor of SROs but we should be going school by school seeing what they need to be safe?

Oh, and here's the police article about that incident (https://www.arlingtonva.us/About-Arlington/Newsroom/Articles/2023/Police-Announce-Arrest-in-Wakefield-High-School-Trespassing). But maybe they're being racist too. I'm sure every 18 y/o who's chasing students into a school with a gun with the serial number scrapped off is just lost.

Not seeing how he is APE plant.
He explained somewhere he had talked to them but had no connection. Zero history before this election looking at their “advocacy”.

He’s anti SRO. Donations from 4 people who are probably parents at his school. Clumsy but engaging with people here to explain himself. Very pleasant about the other candidates and school board members. Volunteer tutors kids on top of being a dad and VP of something.

He cares about achievement but only APE cares about achievement now?

1: You're an anonymous poster too. Hi Kettle!

2: I'm a Wakefield parent. There are a lot of problems at Wakefield, but those problems exist at other schools too. You don't think there's drugs and fighting at Yorktown? Hoo boy, the stories that are shared there would shock you too. It's just that Black and Brown students scare certain people and it's a good shocking talking point. SROs were taken out of schools for a reason, and putting them back in won't solve a single thing that you want addressed except maybe putting more of those minority kids into the criminal system. Also, Larry said he was in favor of SROs in the NAACP forum. If you want to go further, the NAACP, as an institution, is against SROs in schools and has whole working papers on the topic, so not the greatest place to go on record to say the opposite.

3. The kid with the gun was arrested. Without an SRO. And speculation as to whether they would have been arrested sooner with a police presence at school is just that.

4.: Larry's experience is from a decade ago. Things have changed. Demographics for one. Priorities another. Even a few superintendents have come and gone. I'm not interested in people solving problems when they weren't solving problems alongside the people who are actually doing the work in the now.

5.: I don't want to vote for Zuraya either for the same reasons. She hasn't put in the work either. Nor has Chen. But I don't trust Chen at all. He's just telling us what he wants us to hear. Zuraya's not telling us anything at all, but maybe someone from her campaign is reading these threads and can tell her to stand for something? Anything? Since she's the establishment candidate, she's going to win, but I'd feel more comfortable voting for her if she gives a more straight answers. At least CDT stood for something, even if it was for the system.

6.: The money thing is just wow. Four whole people have contributed to Chen. That's a bad sign. He just doesn't have the support of the wider community. But not as bad as Larry with no contributions at all. Self funded campaigns are bad too. You are paying for access. Bad forum. I personally don't care about the Hispanic so-called "lobbyists" supporting Zuraya. She at least has a base.

I think most people will be ranking Kathleen Clark as their #1. She deserves to be on the school board.

That #2 though? Such bad candidates. All I know right now is that I'm not ranking Chen Ling at all. I agree that there's something about him that doesn't sit right. He never addressed his website's claim that bullying is somehow caused by "diversity". And he won't answer whether he has/will work with APE. Hard nope.

That ship has sailed. They’re everywhere. Miranda is on the school board. Even KC is commenting on their Facebook page.

Agree. They don’t seem to be helping him get votes. Remember how hard they pushed Miranda’s campaigns? Crickets now.

At least she chased those endorsements. So much more than Chen. I'm voting for her. She can learn on the job too.

Chased those endorsements. Bwa ha ha. They recruited her to run as the Latinx candidate to replace CDT.

You say this like you’re an insider and witnessed the Hispanic community recruiting and preparing her for office like a puppet. Maybe she had these goals in advance and started to make relationships herself like Chen is purporting to do.

Anyway, anonymous, you’re just stirring up stuff and I can see it clearly from where I sit. I like Zuraya probably as little as I like Chen, but #2 is going to her.

Not an insider. Paying attention. She had no prior connection to APS, joined a committee this year, but had big names like Lopez and Tejada line up from get go. She’s the next CDT who was the next TT.

She has just enough connection and Chen. Has kids going to APS. At least she went one more step than him and joined an advisory committee.

Ok so Zuraya was one step ahead of him but she's been to what like 3 meetings? Honestly I just think she was better groomed. Someone probably told her to hurry up and join a committee so she can show her involvement. She must have referred to it 5 times in the time I saw her speak. She's not fooling anyone. Neither Zuraya or Chen have any involvement as far as I'm concerned.

And Larry, oh Larry... still trying to figure him out.

That really turns me off. Parents work hard on these committees for years.

You better have a source on that because if you're lying... oh well, you're still anonymous and can make unsubstantiated claims. But I do know someone on the info tech committee and I'm sure others do too!

A source on what? The EdTech committee just got started last year, and as of January 2024, the committee had met only 3 times. This is publicly available information. So if Zuraya went to all the meetings, that means she went to a grande total of 3 meetings. Hardly the experience I'm looking for in a candidate. I almost prefer Chen. At least he's not trying to claim he's experienced based on joining a committee yesterday and attending a few committee meetings.

It’s April 2024. The Ed Tech committee meets monthly. Nice obfuscation.

Apparently Zuraya participated quite vocally at the last one per a member who sits on it. Something about AI, but I didn’t get details.

This is a mostly fair summary. I know it’s DCUM but the personal attacks on these candidates is gross. From what I’ve seen, none of them deserve it.

Miranda is a founding member and obviously serves APE only on the board. I just lost some respect for KC if she has indeef joined their Facebook page.

APE isn’t being vocal because they know they’ll tank that candidate’s chances. If I was running for school board, even if they offered me an endorsement, I wouldn’t take it. Pure poison.

Larry has been a longterm sub (can't remember if it was this year or last year)

There’s online voting this year and it’s ranked choice. You get your candidate elected by getting them votes. Particularly when so few people vote in caucus. Doesn’t add up that he’s an APE candidate.

If he's APE, Miranda should endorse him to get more school board votes. It's not adding up. He said somewhere who he talked to from APE but it got deleted. About what you might expect from someone running for local office. I think he's just new and clumsy, but not APE.
