The Billy Bobs and the Mary Sues in here are outraged! Outraged I say! About how they were caught and are trying to find any reason now to justify this woman’s actions.

lol. APE should just apologize and kick Karen out of the group. They did not send their best people to ACPS.

She’s the one who publicly beached about not being able to sign up to speak at a SB meeting…when the instructions were clearly available on the website.

While her post was well intentioned, her wording did not highlight who should and should not fill out the survey. She is extremely apologetic about the confusion; nothing nefarious was intended. We want to state extremely clearly that no one outside of Arlington should have filled out the survey, and we will email the Arlington School Board to clarify that was not the intention of the original poster nor us. We stand by our support of the cell phone J-30 draft and feel strongly it can stand on its own without any outside influence. This was an individual error and a mistake and not that of any larger group effort.

Why didn’t APE speak up when Youngkin tried to cut the state funding for APS?

Update: the APE poster now claims her message was misconstrued!

No I think we all got her message loud and clear when she clearly invited people in the Alexandria group to take the APS survey!

These people are shameless.

Here's her latest post in the Alexandria group:

"It has come to my intention that in the comments of my post about how neighboring districts administer SOLs, where someone asked what the latest was on Arlington’s cell phone policy in Arlington, my comment and share of a survey collecting community feedback is being misconstrued as asking Alexandria families to answer the survey. These surveys always ask if you are a community member, parent, teacher, etc. I would never want someone who does not fall into one of these categories to lie or inappropriately fill out a survey.
The only reason I was in an Alexandria group to begin with is because I used to live there; so what I meant but should have explicitly stated was “if you also live/work, etc. in Arlington”. I’m sorry that was not obvious—I think being in comments I was rushing and not paying enough attention to my phrasing. And again, from my perspective as a former Alexandria resident, that’s very common. Regardless, I’ve deleted the original post to reduce confusion.
Finally—it also came across like I was posting on behalf of APE I think because when I shared a link to the website on the post a thumbnail of APE’s logo popped up. I was seeking information on how other districts take SOL tests out of my own interest in the EdTech issue—because it’s often used as an excuse for keeping our kids on iPads. The cell phone sidebar conversation in the comments was also not at all an official post from APE as an organization.
Happy to answer questions from those who found my posts concerning…I take ethics very seriously and have not and would never seek to inappropriately tip scales or violate rules. I am simply enthusiastic about reducing screen usage in schools and I’m sorry I did not communicate that better."

I wonder where else APE recruited survey results from outside of APS? I wonder how many times their members took the survey?

That’s a pretty generous interpretation of someone actively soliciting non-Arlington residents to “submit a positive comment” via an APS survey. It may not have been officially sanctioned, but this was not miscommunication.

+1 more APE spin and lies

If their view is so popular why do they need to play dirty? Wonder where else they rounded up votes from???

You all already lost the cell phone debate. Find some other rock to kick.

LOL she also says it somehow accidentally came across that she was posting on behalf of APE. Yeah maybe because she raised APE, shared APE's website, said she was very active in APE and then kept saying "we" you know as in APE.

Hey APE troll you all look terrible tonight. If your view is so popular, why did you try to stack the vote with outside people? Where else did you peddle votes from? Grandmas in Texas?

We aren’t talking about cell phones. I know Rs are pretty slow but do try to keep up.

She literally told everyone she was worried about the opposition and to go complete the survey. Cleanup aisle 6.

It's a group for Alexandria residents that they can join. Kind of like AEM for Alexandria.
