In total agreement. The county and FCPS in particular functioned much better when there wasn’t total dominance by preening, hypocritical, incompetent buffoons like the current all-D School Board. And they need to stop using Covid as an excuse for all their malfeasance - people see through that nonsense.

So you’d prefer more Rs focusing on making it illegal to be trans, arresting women who have abortions and re-rewriting history to make it look like white people are the victims. Yeah, that’ll fix everything.

The school board can do these things?

It's bizarre how some Ds absolve the Democrats on the FCPS School Board of responsibility for failing to do necessary things that are clearly within their authority, while ascribing powers to R candidates for School Board that they would never possess.

This word salad is a bunch of BS. And lbh, authority and norms are not things the current GOP party and supporters adheres to in any way. The last few years are replete with examples of that. So just b/c it isn't in their "authority" doesn't mean the GOP candidates wouldn't try. And you know it.

Right now - I haven't seen the Rs do anything worse than literally bar my kids from in person school for one full year.

Well, actually the state, not the local SB, had something to do with that timeline. But nice try.

Which was the right thing to do.

The declining enrollments and test scores, the learning loss, and the developmental delays that have done a number on many kids all suggest otherwise.

Really? The rest of the state stayed closed as long as FCPS? That’s not my memory

The state said that K-3 could be in person five days a week in the fall of 2020.

It is okay- you are safe now. Your kids have been in school for 2 years in person. Take deep breaths. Let go of the anger, it will only hurt you if you decide to dwell on it.Let go of your past trauma you continue to be triggered from. You can’t even read a post without getting upset.

No - I will not forget - and I’ll try to make sure most people remember this for the next school board election.

So which counties in VA were fully open for in-person learning in 2020-21? Since you were “there,” tell us when districts opened their classrooms for all students for in-person learning. Would love to know.
This shows where schools were opened across the country. VA doesn’t seem to be high on that list. But I’m guessing you know where in VA they were open.

No, lots of deaths and medical complications would have proved otherwise.

It’s not just the closed schools courtesy of the current board but the bad decisions they opportunistically made at times when they knew people couldn’t show up at public meetings to express their concerns in person.

Toss every last one of these clowns out.

For sure everywhere in VA wasn’t all virtual for a full year - check VA beach area. I think they were back 4 days at least in 2020 IIRC. Plus LET THIS SINK IN: in summer 2020 the D Gov said schools could have in person education with distancing and FCPS didn’t even do what they were allowed to do. They kept everyone all virtual and did less in person than allowed by the state starting in Fall 2020. You are NOT going to get me on the facts. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

I did not misspeak. They moved the start date back two weeks from August 2020 to Sept 2021. And it wasn’t 5 day days in person until Fall 2021.
