DP. Let me know when she sends her kids to Wakefield instead of Yorktown. |
Miranda Turner just started a thread on AEM to address all of the rumor mongering and invite people to contact her if they have questions or issues they would like to discuss. If she’s willing to jump into that lions den, she definitely has the flame-retardant underpants necessary to deal with Arlington parents. |
I do give her credit for not being the typical must-have-wealthy north ES - Swanson/Wmsbg- Yorktown triangle parent. But she brings nothing new to the Board. I see more of the same; and I haven't liked the direction APS has been heading for a few years already. I do think MT is more of the typical south Arlington candidate that you get. Name a south Arlington SB member or candidate who is poor or a struggling immigrant. They've all been middle or upper middle class and either white or African American or interracial white and African American. I don't know who I'm going to vote for, yet. I am not overly impressed with either candidate and I don't believe anything is going to change no matter which one ends up on the Board. |
Is she going to answer any of the questions that have been posed to her there, including her position on the Arlington Gender Identities Alliance who had requested her thoughts on a few issues. Mary responded to their request, Miranda did not. But I guess those issues don't appeal to her base. |
or WL. |
PP to clarify, "or WL" meaning her kidSSS go to Wakefield instead of Yorktown or WL. MAYBE one goes to AT; but that's entirely different. |
or maybe she just hasn't gotten to submitting a written response yet. She is apparently out and about soliciting votes. |
If it was important to her, she'd find the time. |
DP. The group just sent out the request a couple of days ago and Kadera only responded today, so you’re basically just criticizing Turner for not being first. Also, for all my searching I cannot find the leadership is in that group, which is a red flag for me. To the extent that are run by vocal Mary Kadera supporters, Turner could be concerned about how her response could be twisted by the group. |
Miranda can get back to me when she sends her kids to the neighborhood school in Green Valley (Drew) or even to APS. Notice how she conveniently didn't mention that she has one kid in private and the other in an option program. (The third is too young for APS). |
I believe the oldest was at Drew before the pandemic and hopes to go back. |
That is correct. She has stated before that they will be re-enrolling their oldest at Drew for the fall now that APS has committed to five days a week in-person. So pp will be able to vote for Turner in good conscience in the general election in November. ![]() |
Um, the option program is part of APS. |
How did Kadera get her kids transferred to Kenmore? I believe that school has been closed to neighborhood transfers the past few years. Special consideration for admin transfer by APS? |
I was wondering about this too. |
