According to VPAP, Frisch has over $100K on hand and Cohen has $30K. So, I guess they both plan to run for something.

What about Omeish? We need to support her as well.

brabrand orders principals to suspend maskless students.

What can we do to oust brabrand? I know his contract will not be renewed, but how do we put him out of a job now?

Under Virginia law localities only have such authority as granted by the state so I’m sure the new state government is actively researching exactly what emergency powers they may have to remove local officials who set themselves up in opposition to the Governor, whether it’s local superintendents or local school board members.

The best thing voters can do is let the Governor you support his efforts to speak up for parents and then remove the likes of Frisch, Cohen, Omeish, and Tholen next year. Not a single one should ever hold public office again.

Do not think they can remove elected officials--but the superintendent? Maybe.

The elitists make it clear that they'd rather have their kids go to overcrowded schools instead of adjusting boundaries, so Cohen and Frisch can't really push for policy to address overcrowding. Well, they can, but they'd risk their reputations.

I thought Cohen was supporting moving kids from West Springfield to under-enrolled Lewis. Is that not the case?

We aren’t sure. There was some movement of neighborhoods from (I think) Springfield District to Lee District for magisterial district purposes. Your district for the BoS doesn’t match up with your school pyramid though. It is unclear to me if Cohen understands that fact. West Springfield has pretty compact and logical boundaries and, with the expansion (that is already done and predates Cohen, so no point in arguing about it anymore) is just about at capacity.

Where is the plan for all of this? Tholen had a chance to wait on the MHS boundary until after FCPS hired the boundary consultant - that consultant was supposed to recommend best practices on boundaries for all of FCPS. Tholen did not wait and pushed through the change in the middle of a pandemic - so she failed to make the process better (or make a process at all). How is it that we now see Cohen and Frisch going about this in the same failed way Tholen did - a way that lacks transparency and leaves parents wondering where things stand?

Boundary change was needed. McLean was told to wait on a larger conversation years ago, which led to the formation of McSpaces.

I just hope that people are right and she won’t run again. She hasn’t kept her campaign pledges and is utterly ineffective.

If she somehow does move a few neighborhoods from WS to Lewis (which I doubt, but suppose could happen), she’ll be a pariah in Fairfax County and will have to move away. Lol. People will be so mad.

Are those neighborhoods the ones that were just redistricted OUT of Springfield district?

So elaine's boundary change, negotiated with mcspaces and vance, reduced overcrowding at MHS? The boundary change reduced capacity at MHS by how much? Did it help? If so, please provide more detail so I can understand.

I’m not saying they got a good deal.

I am saying telling them to wait—yet again— was clearly not an option.

Your school board rep matches your voting district.
