[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else catch that Miranda said she has met regularly with Duran the last couple of years? Is that common for people to meet regularly with the superintendent?[/quote]

It is when you lead a grievance group. [/quote]

I find it annoying, why does she get his ear? and why does he give her his valuable time? [/quote]

I also find it annoying that our "22 years young" candidate has zero connections in the community. [/quote]

Yes. I think it's a plus to hear that Miranda has been meeting with Duran regularly. Sounds like she has a relationship there. [/quote]

It seems inequitable to me. Why does one interest group get the ear of the superintendent?

does everyone have this access? [/quote]

I assume any group could ask to meet. Have they? I don't love everything about him, but he gives the impression of paying attention to different community interests.  I  think that would extend to meeting with any group that asked.  And maybe others do meet with him.  I have no idea. Bu I think it's good if she does have a relationship with him since it looks like she will be our next SB member. [/quote]

Duran’s former chief of staff endorsed her so they clearly had a very good working relationship. [/quote]

WHAT??? WHERE??? His first Chief of Staff who went to MoCo? [/quote]

he's not listed as a supporter on her website so it doesn't look like this is accurate[/quote]

Looks like it was accurate.  His endorsement of MT is quoted at length in this piece.  It's about RG endorsing the Kid but it quotes Stockton's statement about her.

Miranda has shown dedication to children at all levels that was fair and equitable, and she has continually fought to ensure APS is seeking to maintain high standards for academic achievement for every student. Her display of love for the community demonstrates a genuine concern and kindness for the well-being of the children of Arlington. It is clear to me that she possesses the mastery and skills required for effective Board management and governance.

Furthermore, Miranda possesses the temperament, knowledge and commitment to Arlington County that is required for today and the future. I believe she will be a strong asset for Arlington County parents and students, and as such she has my unfettered endorsement.
