[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this quote from Jacinta Green frustrating:

[i]But, she said, ACPS wasn’t creative enough in reopening its in-person instruction to kindergarten-to-second graders and students with the greatest needs.

“I just think we needed to bring them back faster,” she said. “It needed it needed to be more creative in doing it, with out of more out-of-the-box thinking.”[/i]

She was on the school board while these decisions were being made.  Hindsight is 20/20 but how vocal was she on this issue during the closure?  Is there a particular SB meeting or two when she spoke out strongly about this?

The quote seems like something one of the new candidates would say.  Not a quote from someone who was partially responsible for keeping those kids out of schools.

No, Greene only seemed to be concerned in the meetings I watched on whether sports were restarting.  I don’t know how Greene contributes to the Board. [/quote]

As an ACPS parent I watched almost every SB meeting this year (at least, tuned in during the school reopening discussion items). I honestly can't remember her saying a single thing. She seemed wholly disinterested in the topic and so for her to say after the fact that ACPS wasn't creative enough in getting the little kids back into the classroom? Wholly disingenuous. [/quote]

+1 I, too, tuned in for the school reopening discussions and don’t remember her speaking up or voicing concerns or saying much of anything. [b]At least her colleagues in District A asked some questions.[/b][/quote]

It's so sad that is the standard for School Board members in Alexandria.  Fondly remembering all the timidity of those SB members daring to ask questions of Hutchings.  The shaking voices.  The layering the questions with high praise for him.  Ah the memories.  [/quote]
