[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That would be better than school board. I wouldn't vote for him but at least it's a relevant position for him to hold. As someone who's not a parent of a kid at FCPS and never has been, nor will be soon, his views on the School Board should be irrelevant. It's a travesty that someone w/ no direct connection or experience to the schools is taking up his seat (no, his spouse being a teacher does NOT count). [/quote]

On the other hand, having a school board member be a parent or soon-to-be parent of a child in FCPS isn't necessarily any better. Their votes would be biased to favor their child's school and pyramid. I actually prefer having candidates with interest in helping the wider community without skin in the game. At least I find it easier to believe their votes would be far more neutral.[/quote]

The problem was that he ended up not having a "wider" lens on the community.  He ended up making crucial decisions based on his own household concerns.  That's not kosher.

I won't be voting for him again.  [/quote]

Oh damn!

I just heard earlier today that Keam was leaving his post... and now I see that Frisch has the lock on the Dem's candidacy for Keam's district.  And looks like I'm going to still be in the district that Frisch will be representing.  That sucks.  Frisch, as a dem, is a lock for this seat too.  Well, I guess I can skip voting for him and he'll still end up representing my district.  And he'll be there a LONG time b/c this district is going to stay blue.

... depressing...[/quote]

He doesn't have the lock on the D nomination, at all.  Holly Seibold is also running and has a lot of grassroots support. https://www.hollyseibold.com/ [/quote]

Good to know!  I saw this in the OP's link:  ("Frisch said he has been endorsed by Fairfax County Chairman Jeff McKay, Rep. Don Beyer and a handful of current and former school board members, among others.") and I thought that meant Frisch had a sealed deal.

How does this work now?  Do the Fairfax County Dems pick the candidate?  Or will there be a primary?  I'm all for Holly.[/quote]
