Schultz is just vile. She was a terrible board member.

I’m a mommy who did this. First R vote ever. An good. After t*ts how last year, FCPS proved they should not have a monopoly or free education. If there had been charters and vouchers, FCPS would have had to open— or become defunct. Nothing wrong with making the, compete for students with the private sector.

Bring on charters, vouchers, magnets, smaller more specialized HSs, etc.

You are a terrible person.

We should be leaning into public schools right now, not "defunding" them. So disgusting that selfish parents are going to further destroy our public schools just because they were spiteful about virtual school and/or "CRT".

Stop with the equity at the center of it all nonsense. The primary job of a school system is education. That should be their #1, #2 and #3 priorities.

Renaming schools, changing admissions to 1 HS, equity dashboards, etc. should be way down the agenda of a school board.

Not a public school board. Public schools are required by law to responsive to all, not cater to upper middle class children of privilege who were born on third and whose parents think they hit a triple.

If you want the things you list, private school is a legitimate option.

As a taxpayer, I am far more concerned that the needs of the underserved are met first and foremost.

Sadly, the majority of posters on DCUM are entitled and selfish and the can’t think of others.

Quality schools focused on education are only for those whose parents can pay.
Everyone else gets name changes and lowered standards.

Yay.

Please, the worst HS in FCPS is leaps and bounds above the majority in the US. Ridiculous.

Exactly. If you had $$$, odds are good your child had an education last year. If not, you were stuck with a SB who needed to meet 8 times about TJ admissions.

(And still got it wrong.Did you know that the 25% “economically needy” admitted to TJ under the new system last year were all SELF-REPORTED as such by the parents? The vast majority of these kids are not actually low income students.The application had a huge loophole that anyone dishonest could game by checking a box that their child got free meals, knowing that FCPS likely didn’t actually want to verify, they just wanted a good press release. Many honest kids were cheated out of a spot in this way. Vent over)

You lost me when you mentioned CRT which is not even taught in Virginia schools

I'm furious FCPS closed for so long and now they aren't even trying to make up for all the learning loss. But I don't think smaller, specialized schools or school vouchers are the answer. Look at the UK where this model exists - parents have to apply to multiple schools in the hopes that someone accepts their kid. Often, it is not in their neighborhood and parents drive 45 minutes + to get their child to school and sometimes even have to move houses to live within distance of the school that will accept their child. The government schools are terrible and even they don't have to accept a kid that lives in their neighborhood.

Fix FCPS - don't destroy it.

This is a very conservative roster of advisors that can be expected to push for school vouchers, charter schools, and refocusing public schools on basic academics and away from CRT-based initiatives. Had local School Boards controlled by Democrats been more responsible and done more over the past two years to focus on the basics like academics and facilities, we wouldn't be facing this type of 180-degree policy takeover. All I can say to the clowns on the FCPS School Board is that I hope you're happy with what you've brought about.

• Rebecca Horner
• Tian Olson

We were told schools were not teaching CRT, so how can they move away from it?

I was told voting for Youngkin was pointless because he has no control over local schools. So what are you worried about?

[Anonymous]

Gross. He picked an anti-LGBTQ+ fanatic?

[Anonymous]

She used to be my rep. I never voted for her - and in this gov. election - I voted D, but the Ds messed things up so bad - I don't even care if she's on Youngkin's education transition team. I really don't think anyone could mess up education more than no in person school from August 2020 - March 2020.

March 2021 I mean

LOL, the public schools are not going to "compete for students." They will continue to serve the kids of people who can't afford to go elsewhere, using whatever resources they're given for the job. If their funding is cut due to charter programs then they'll do less with less money. To the extent your property values are tied to schools, this is bad for you even if your child is not enrolled in that school. If you ever lose your ability to keep Junior in private/charter, he'll be stuck at what could have been a decent fallback option but no longer is.

SMH at these people who thought voting R would ever help schools. Use your eyes: this is an incredibly rich area and lots of people left public for private in 2020: did that "force schools to open"? Of course not.

I do not believe you.

I have no reason to lie about something so random.

The opposite of equity isn't education -- it's inequity. That's the platform.
