[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The title of your thread is kind of misleading.  The MCA didn't "demand" smaller class sizes.  It adopted a resolution urging FCPS to narrow - but not eliminate - the current differences in class sizes.

The issue has been percolating for years, but the School Board has continued to let classes in McLean, Vienna and Great Falls get larger.  Test scores remain very high, of course, but the parents see how much smaller the classes are elsewhere in FCPS, as well as in APS and FCCPS, and they feel short-changed and taken for granted.

Since the entire School Board is up for re-election this fall, it shouldn't surprise anyone that residents are trying to find out where School Board members and their challengers stand on the issue.  I have no idea if Janie Strauss plans to run as the Dranesville representative for School Board again, but there's a good chance that a Republican-endorsed candidate will win her seat campaigning heavily on this issue.

Isn't Janie a McLean resident?[/quote]
