[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t mean to be super negative, but my observation has been that the Boards are very siloed and that the CB is more than happy to push off comments about the schools to the school board.  They aren’t going to engage because it’s not what they do.

In the grand scheme of things, the county board has a much larger population to answer to than Arlington County parents.  The schools aren’t a priority.  [/quote]

I understand what you're saying, but this feels like a convenient copout that the CB likes to pull when there are school issues that would go against CB desires (MM, anyone...). It's less "we need to think of all stakeholders" and more "this one particular group doesn't matter because we already give them a bunch of money". Like, ok, but your decisions can make it easier/harder for them to spend that money responsibly. So they really need to work together. But the political math is not favorable to that approach, so this slate of candidates is what we get.....[/quote]
