[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know her personally, but Gina does have kids in ACPS and pretty active and engaged on school issues. I think maybe Bill Campbell was on the fence about running and didn’t end up.

I agree that the other guy on the ballot seems like the hand-picked political establishment choice. I read a quote from him that his biggest priority will be collective bargaining for ACPS employees.  While I believe labor right are critical, I’m not sure that should be the main priority of the school board right now. I want someone who wants to prioritize students and learning. [/quote]

Is she an ACPS apologist? Does she run one of the "parent" facebook pages where ACPS is zealously defended? [/quote]

I would definitely *not* categorize her as an ACPS apologist.  I’ve seen and heard her demand accountability from them on various issues in recent years.  Here’s a copy and paste of one of her social media posts regarding closed door, inaccessible ACPS board meetings:

“Someone needs to explain to me, how on earth ACPS gets away with this. First, there was a school board  “retreat” on Monday, no location posted, no live feed. Then, there was a school board meeting last night that looked like this 👇🏼.

Having served on two boards myself, we were not allowed to communicate as a group via email, let alone meet in person without the public being able to attend…. I gladly would have publicly posted email discussions about trash in parks and mowing cycles and yet….this body gets to have all the private meetings they choose via a “retreat?” and now school board meetings too? Even the Park & Rec Comm retreats were public forums.

Is anyone going to hold anyone accountable here?”[/quote]
