So many of them have tried and failed (or are still trying) to use their school board experience to step over to another political position. I really hope that they have seen the writing on the wall and don’t look back:

Frisch: House of Delegates (lost in Nov)
Cohen: House of Delegates (seeking)
Pekarsky: Senate (seeking)

Others:
McLaughlin (Retiring with honors)
Corbett-Sanders (Retiring)
Tholen (not seeking re-election)

What do we know of the intentions of the other 6? All seeking re-election?

Laura Jane Cohen now has an opponent also seeking the Democratic endorsement for the House of Delegates seat she is seeking. https://www.henrithompson.com/

And he won't be weighted down by a terrible record as a School Board member like Cohen. Wonder if she'll suffer the same fate as Frisch, who thought he could waltz into the House and got rejected by the voters.

You love to see it when others realize what weak candidates these School Board members make when they seek other offices. They deserve to be forced out of their current seats, not elevated to higher office.

You folks need a hobby. You're nastiness and gross obsession with the current SB is going to give you an aneurysm.

They aren't good people, and rather than slink into oblivion as they should some of them want promotions. That won't give anyone an aneurysm, just some nausea if they get away with it.

Is that a primary then? If she loses, can she still run for School Board?

Yes. No.

I'm not sure about the 'no." I think it depends on when you have to file to run for SB. Remember, there is not a primary for SB--just the endorsement process.

That’s what I am thinking (I’m the one who asked the question). I think she could still run.

Yeah, it probably depends on if the FCDP has already endorsed a candidate in Springfield or if not, if they are confident behind someone else who’s not LJC. I think it could be theoretically possible she loses the primary for a VA house seat but still has enough time to run for SB again after.

It was bad enough when Frisch ran after losing a primary for a special election to the House of Delegates. It would take a particular brand of chutzpah for run for SB after losing a primary for a general election, especially if someone else in the district had already expressed an interest in the Democratic endorsement for SB.

Any further news on who might challenge Frisch in the Providence SB contest - either seeking the Democratic or the Republican endorsement?

I am also not sure about the no. The last I checked her website said if she wins the D Nom for house she won’t run for school board. That led me to believe if she didn’t win the D Nom for house she would run for school board.

Sorry you don’t like the democratic process (I thought the Rs were the threat to democracy???) but i appreciated the actual electoral information provided in this post. I didn’t know about Henri prior to this post. Does anyone know anything about him? I actually just realized why he looks familiar to me. I participated in a school thing with him and I actually liked the feedback he provided there. I’ll try to speak to him if he attends again.

I'm the OP-and I actually agree. I do think that people interject crap about the SB in threads that have nothing to do with the SB. And I'm over the whole Covid closure stuff. BUT-I do want to understand how this whole process works because I am concerned about the current state of affairs. My biggest worry is that we will either have status quo or swing the other direction (school choice/vouchers, censorship). I really wish candidates were not affiliated with parties at all.

As long as it is the way it is - you should welcome engagement and people knowing about the candidates. That is democracy.

Looks like he now lives in the part of Herndon that feeds into Carson and Oakton.

This is a change from 2019 and I don’t want anyone to forget it. In 2019 they did not have the qualified voter caveat and Omeish got a ton of people who couldn’t vote in the regular election to vote for her in the FCDC sample ballot process. They did change their rules as a result but that doesn’t change the fact that largely based on their endorsement she won.

Since 2019, FCDC has kicked out lifelong Dems, and did not allow anyone to join who was critical of the school board. They are in an echo chamber and further radicalizing. The ones left to sign a petition to endorse candidates are fringe left. Their only hope is to paint opposition as a extreme right wing.

Go away, troll. There is not a single "fringe" left candidate on the board. The current dem supported candidates are not even close to far left. Omeish is reviled by everyone, including the dems, and including the actual far left. The current SB is only far left if you are the type who would prefer Confederate candidates, which is, sadly, the other option.
