I see a lot of denunciations of Hamas terrorism on Sabio’s Twitter account recently. That strikes me as anything but crazy. Frisch has pictures of his dog and a near-constant stream of posts about LBGTQ issues on his account. Here’s an interview with Sabio: https://patch.com/virginia/fairfaxcity/tony-sabio-running-providence-district-school-board-race-profile He’s further to the right than I’d like on some issues, but he hasn’t squandered over $60M in taxpayer funds like Frisch on a completely unnecessary school that no one asked for, so he’d be an improvement. |

Is it possible for them to cancel Dunn loring elem? Huge waste of money.
If it goes through, kids already enrolled at stenwood or shrevewood can stay, right? |
|
If you want to cancel Dunn Loring, vote out Karl Frisch. It’s 100% his baby.
Without Frisch, a new board can wash their hands of this $60M mistake and spend the money more wisely. FCPS would still have wasted money on architects to draw up plans, but at least they wouldn’t be throwing good money after bad. |
Nope it will be because we don't want Sabio on the Board and I don't blame them. He wants armed guards in every school, he compares schools to war zones. No thank you. |
As opposed to some of the Democrats who want to eliminate all SROs? Safety is a valid concern for parents at schools attended by Providence students, including Marshall and McLean, both of which have kids leaving the main building throughout the day to attend classes in trailers and modulars. |
It's not a war zone, I don't want some commando coming in telling school admin to arm everyone and treat it like a war zone. This guy is crazy, but keep trying repub operatives!! Seriously, guys, it's so obvious who you are and why you're posting here. You can try to recreate the drama that you created on DCUM around the last election, but I don't think it's going to work this time around. |
I agree schools in FCPS aren't a "war zone." On the other hand, here is a profile of Tony Sabio, whom Democratic operatives want to demonize in order to promote Karl Frisch. Frisch is basically a bagman for wealthy LBGTQ political donors, and his only claim to fame on the FCPS School Board is wasting over $60M in taxpayer money on an unnecessary elementary school. https://people.com/politics/how-teenage-boy-was-rescued-from-ukraine-in-invasion-and-brought-to-america/ One of the candidates parents children; the other likes to post a lot of pictures of his dog and call himself a "Dog Dad." |
I’m sorry, you are criticizing Karl Frisch for posting his dog? Have you seen Sabio’s YARD SIGNS with his dog??? That’s absolutely crazy. Sabio came off as completely uninformed about the issues in the Patch article. If you read his Twitter, he is constantly spelling words wrong, being rude to people in replies, and giving vague platitudes that don’t actually address real issues. Say what you want about Karl Frisch, but at least Frisch knows what he’s talking about and can have a real conversation with you about special ed etc. |
Who said they want to eliminate SROs? If they did, they would’ve done so already. If Sabio cares about school safety, why is he so pro-gun? He constantly tweets about guns! He retweeted a picture of a family giving ASSAULT rifles to kids. |
Sabio hasn't advocated for squandering over $60M in taxpayer funds like Frisch on a completely unnecessary school that no one asked for, so he’d be an improvement over Frisch. Between wasting so much of our money on Dunn Loring and then trying to bolt from the School Board the first time there was a chance to run for a higher office (props to Vienna for choosing Holly Siebold instead even though Frisch had so much more campaign money), Frisch has made it clear that he doesn't deserve another term on the board. |
OK but what is appealing about Sabio at all? Give me a good reason to vote for him that doesn’t involve Karl Frisch. |
From the questionnaire (not an “interview,” they sent out the same questions to all candidates and posted responses): “Why are you seeking elective office? School Board Member - Providence District” Reading doesn’t seem to be Sabio’s strong suit. https://patch.com/virginia/fairfaxcity/tony-sabio-running-providence-district-school-board-race-profile |
He cared enough about kids that he traveled into war-torn Ukraine to bring one back safely to the United States. We're probably lucky if Karl bothers to pick up his dog's poop on a good day. |
That’s commendable, but what does that have to do with FCPS? How does that show he’s qualified to serve on the board of one of the biggest school districts? |

From reading these messages, I can see the disinformation spewing. So let me provide some clarity.
1. I never been disrespectful n Twitter and really took the nasty remarks with Grace. 2. I never called out schools a “war zone” and never said I am going to push guns in school. Reality is I want to institute technology coupled with a proper Emergency Response Plan to mitigate and delay so Law Enforcement can deal with threats on the outside of schools. Also I want to stop the increase on sex trafficking and sex crimes… I work on that currently in the private sector. 3. The school board doesn’t need more activist and educators… we need leaders that can manage a budget (meaning seeing where all the money is going), reallocate the current funding based on the priorities (priorities based on community wants and needs), ensure the safety of all children/staff/teachers at our schools… just to name a few. 4. Emphasis mental health issues by adding more support to teachers and parents. We have a great program in the Foster Care system that I went through to adopt my son… I want to expand that service to help all parents because raising children is a hard task. 5. Increase mentorship programs in FFX such as Big Brother/Big Sister so we can help our children as a loving community. My son was in the system for 9 years and adopting him was a blessing and a honor. If we want to help our kids we have to step up with more than words. 6. I will increase trade and vocational schools as a career path upon graduation. Also develop job placement from the trade/vocational schooling so kids that don’t have any to go to college have an opportunity to have a good paying job when they graduate. I have already networked with local businesses. Those are some examples of what I bring… in the private sector as a consultant, high net-worth people and corporations hire me to evaluate and provide solutions to their issues. That goes from security issues to business management to leadership mentorship to P&L vs ROI assessments. These are real skills that I bring from my broad experience from the military, the Secret Service, the CIA, and private sector. I would put my body of work against anyone on the school board any day.
