Adding seats at a new ES can help get kids out of trailers.

It could, in theory, but it won't at "Dunn Loring ES," a site surrounded by under-enrolled elementary schools. The only way it will ever get kids out of trailers would be through massive and unnecessary boundary shifts that will tear apart some schools and result in other kids having much further trips to school. It is a total fiasco.

I really do wonder if it's Karl responding on this thread. He has a well-earned reputation among his colleagues for playing with the truth and you can see that in some of the comments here as well.

LOL. Definitely not KF. If you want to get kids out of trailers and don't want to fund additions to various schools, then boundary changes are necessary. They happen everywhere - it's ridiculous to completely oppose any boundary changes.

You clearly lack both common sense and any sense of local geography. Sounds like you're the type of dope Frisch is counting on to get re-elected, and it's likely you share an agenda that has nothing to do with quality education.

They should fund additions to schools, not build a completely unnecessary one that is surrounded by under-enrolled elementary schools (Cunningham Park, Stenwood, Vienna, Freedom Hill).

Elementary kids should never be rezoned from their walkable neighborhood schools.

Only an idiot with no common sense would build an elementary school in an area with no walkable housing to save a dog park.

I assume PP means a large number of the donors to a local school board election come from out of state; most of the money won’t actually be needed for or spent on Frisch’s campaign; and eventually most of the money will get recycled to other local candidates sympathetic to the agenda of the donors. He’s a crappy SB member but a useful bag man.

That is not dark money.

A large percentage of the donations to Frisch come from NY, California, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Illinois, and Texas. That's quite unusual for a candidate running for a local School Board in Virginia.

He won't need but a small fraction of that money for a school board race. He'll keep some for his next campaign and re-route some of it to other Democratic campaigns. Then people may see the other candidate got money from Frisch, but not be aware of the source of Frisch's money. It's legal but not necessarily ethical, and in any event he is a crappy School Board member who wastes taxpayer money while neglecting the needs of his constituents.

Don't care. Why can't you talk about actual issues facing the school system? That's all Karl talks about.

+1. These people know when we talk about the issues, Karl wins. People support the Dunn Loring school, the work being done to address learning loss, offering free access to therapy, raising teacher pay, banning guns from all school property, etc.

Very few support the Dunn Loring school and it is going to unnecessarily tear apart surrounding school communities in the Marshall pyramid and leave a few schools like Stenwood shells.

Also, guns were already banned from school property before you were elected. Any changes to those laws were incremental and not something the School Board effected.

You have zero capacity to tell the truth - just a big campaign war chest to spread misinformation.

Karl Frisch closed the gun ban loophole to ban guns on all school property. Before this, guns were only banned in instructional buildings.

Well, that hasn't happened and isn't going to happen.

Important given that the county is the home to the NRA.

We get it. Guns were already banned in school buildings but Frisch focuses on other places (for example, where School Board members have offices).

Meanwhile kids in Providence attend schools where classrooms are in trailers and cheap modulars - and money that could have been spent to remedy that gets wasted on a completely UNNECESSARY elementary school in Dunn Loring instead, courtesy of Karl.

He's such a slimeball.

I think appropriate gun control is important. I also don't think local school boards are really in the driver's seat when it comes to that issue. They have very limited delegated authority in that space.

On the other hand, they have a lot of oversight authority with respect to academics, operations, and facilities. It's unfortunate Frisch pays so little attention to those issues - and then lies about what he has done.

In general, yes. But they did have control here:
https://www.ffxnow.com/2022/02/09/fairfax-county-school-board-moves-to-expand-ban-on-firearms-rise-in-threats-of-violence/
Fairfax County Public Schools intends to prohibit guns from all properties that it owns or leases amid heightened concerns about the safety of students, staff, and elected officials.

The Fairfax County School Board agreed unanimously at a work session yesterday (Tuesday) to direct Superintendent Scott Brabrand and his staff to develop a draft policy for its governance committee to consider at its March 1 meeting.

Firearms are already banned from public and private school grounds in Virginia, but this policy would take advantage of a measure approved by the General Assembly in 2021 giving local school boards the authority to also designate administrative buildings as “gun-free zones.”

Karl Frisch supports, and will continue to prioritize equity, diversity, and inclusion in FCPS schools, particularly as it relates to teens, tweens, and children who identify as LGBTQIA++.

Tony Sabio auctioned off a semi-automatic rifle to raise money for his campaign for Providence School Board seat.

The same type of gun used in the deadliest mass shooting in American history!!!

This man is dangerous and should not be within 250 feet of a school.

Prioritizing DEI is the job of the FCPS Chief DEI Officer and her staff.

Karl is supposed to run an academic institution, sometimes called a school system (my children’s school system). ACADEMIC INSTITUTION.

But academics are not his priority. He’s stated that many times.

Is it any wonder academic performance has deteriorated so greatly under the leadership of Frisch? But again - he has other priorities.

Karl Frisch does not even have children in an FCPS school.

In fact, he is not even a parent.

The bar was low for exceeding Frisch...and yet the GOP backed candidate can't even meet that low standard.
