[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janie Strauss, the School Board member who both lives in McLean and represents the McLean schools, made an appearance at Karen Garza's "listening tour" last night and said she did NOT support the MCA resolution or taking any money away from higher-needs schools to reduce class sizes elsewhere.  The MCA resolution was drafted by Louise Epstein, who also lives in McLean and narrowly lost to Strauss in the 2011 School Board election.

It seems the battle lines for the 2015 contest for the Dranesville seat are being drawn. [/quote]

Louise Epstein was the first Republican I have voted for since I moved to Virginia in 1990.  If the Democrats don't get their acts together, it looks like I will do so again. [/quote]

Dranesville includes schools in the Herndon, Langley and McLean pyramid, and one school in the Marshall pyramid (Lemon Road).

In 2011, Epstein won heavily in the precincts zoned for Langley HS in 2011, but Strauss won every precinct that fed into Herndon, McLean or Marshall HS.  My guess is that, in the 2015 election, the Republican-endorsed candidate will get all the Langley precincts again, the Democratic-endorsed candidate will get all the Herndon precincts and the Pimmit precinct that feeds into Marshall, and the McLean precincts will split, quite possible over this very issue of class sizes.[/quote]
