| She fights for kids and teachers and is so well-versed in the details. I love having Mary and Bethany on the Board as Members steeped in instruction, but the School Board is responsible for budget and facilities and having a lawyer would be really beneficial to the team. Provide some diversity in expertise. |

FYI RG made the announcement today:
"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 21, 2023 Press Contact: pr@arlingtondemocrats.org CHAIR REID GOLDSTEIN ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE FROM ARLINGTON SCHOOL BOARD AFTER 8 YEARS ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Arlington Public Schools Chair Reid Goldstein released the following statement: “After serving nearly eight years on the Arlington School Board, I have made the decision not to seek another term. I have always believed that building a healthy and desirable community is not a spectator sport and have been committed to public service in Arlington for almost 25 years. However, as this chapter of my life comes to a close, I am excited to explore new ways of serving the community. I am deeply grateful to the Arlington community, students, teachers, support staff, administrators, parents, and colleagues who have made my time on the School Board so fulfilling. Together, we have made great progress and I am proud of what we have accomplished. I will make a formal announcement about my decision not to run at the next meeting of the Arlington Democrats on March 1.”" |

Just saw this? I feel like this is a plant. Anyway, can anyone confirm that this is a new campaign and not someone just stumbling upon her last campaign? |

Oh, and I say this b/c it's something I would write if I was part of a campaign and wanted to insert someone's name into the conversation. Good for them, though. We need non-ACDC candidates. If this wasn't a plant, I apologize. |

I'm the one who posted. I supported her last time and got an email today saying she is running again. Thus, just saw this. |

| Plus I think she will run for the dem endorsement yes? |

New! From the email that announced: “Your support was crucial two years ago, and I'm asking for it again. I'm running for School Board in 2023 and I can't do it without you! My priorities are simple: Focusing on instruction that supports our students. Prioritizing the resources to recruit, support, and retain our teachers. Setting expectations that promote the best in all. Providing oversight that asks tough questions on the budget and facilities. Communicating with the community in a frequent, clear, and transparent way.” |

where does that say he is running for school board? He is utterly and totally unqualified- but I don't see any sort of school board announcement. |

There a candidate announcement email by him making the rounds. I don't think he has a website. |

That's the way Mary Kadera was about McKinley disappearing. Didn't stop her from getting on the Board. |

Yep! She's very standoffish. I don't think she would be a positive person to have on the board. She's not approachable. |

Mary Kadera has moved on with her life. The Key parents are still brining up their move and holding a grudge against APS/SB. |

I would never trust the judgment of someone who has been a leader in that group. Beyond all of their terrible behavior during the pandemic, they were still pushing GOP propaganda in 2022. Arlington already rejected her once. Do it again. |

According to a post on AEM there is another person that might jump in the race...
"The four candidates I've heard are, Erin (confirmed), Miranda (confirmed), Angelo Cocchiaro (Confirmed), and Maggie Slye (rumored)." It looks like Maggie Slye chairs the Early Childhood Advisory Committee that Miranda Turner also a member of. |
