[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is a frightening list. All those mommies who thought voting for Youngkin would stick it to the evil Democrats are going to be in for a shock.

Schultz is just vile. She was a terrible board member.[/quote]

I’m a mommy who did this. First R vote ever.  An good. After t*ts how last year, FCPS proved they should not have a monopoly or free education.  If there had been charters and vouchers, FCPS would have had to open— or become defunct. Nothing wrong with making the, compete for students with the private sector.

Bring on charters, vouchers, magnets, smaller more specialized HSs, etc.  [/quote]

Stop with the equity at the center of it all nonsense. The primary job of a school system is education. That should be their #1, #2 and #3 priorities.

Renaming schools, changing admissions to 1 HS, equity dashboards, etc. should be way down the agenda of a school board.[/quote]

Not a public school board. Public schools are required by law to responsive to all, not cater to upper middle class children of privilege who were born on third and whose parents think they hit a triple.

If you want the things you list, private school is a legitimate option.

As a taxpayer, I am far more concerned that the needs of the underserved are met first and foremost.[/quote]

Quality schools focused on education are only for those whose parents can pay.
Everyone else gets name changes and lowered standards.

Yay.[/quote]

Exactly.  If you had $$$, odds are good your child had an education last year.  If not, you were stuck with a SB who needed to meet 8 times about TJ admissions.

(And still got it wrong.Did you know that the 25% “economically needy” admitted to TJ under the new system last year were all SELF-REPORTED as such by the parents? The vast majority of these kids are not actually low income students.The application had a huge loophole that anyone dishonest could game by checking a box that their child got free meals, knowing that FCPS likely didn’t actually want to verify, they just wanted a good press release.   Many honest kids were cheated out of a spot in this way. Vent over)[/quote]
