[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, having a complete newcomer with no roots and no stake is always a great idea![/quote] She’s not that new.  Been in Arlington going on 5 years.  She’s done a lot in those years and I look forward to what else she will do.  It seems she reviews both the county and school budgets (poor thing) and sits on a third commission.  Katie Cristol was elected to county board at 28 or 29 and is doing a fine job.  I think Cristina will also do great. [/quote]

She lived in NV until June 2016 and then first worked in DC in Sept 2016, according to linked in. How could she have been in Arlington for 5 years? You campaign staffers should really get your facts straight about your own candidate.[/quote]

3, 4, ... that's going on 5.  Just like every other bullet point in her resume, they're exaggerating.[/quote]

Go Cristina go!  Big Cristina believer here.  We work together and went to undergrad at the same school.  Love all the attention she's getting in here.  I also love how threatened everyone is, meaning she will at least be one of the front runners right?  She's shaking up the status quo.  Considering the median age in Arlington is 33 and 80% of our residents also don't have children, she actually embodies Arlington.  Get over yourselves and attack her policy positions, her impact on the 3 commissions, or her research based approach to using data.  Arlington is getting younger, and some of you are just so out of touch.  She already advises schools, districts, and state education leaders across the country.  This week we were just on a call with California's secretary of education.  He was taking his cues from Cristina.  Imagine that.  Not to mention that she does this full time every week.  I'm sorry, but the problems we face in Arlington don't even compare to some of the issues other districts are up against.  She's uniquely equipped to lead our system and I hope she wins.  Her masters is in education... specifically it is in curriculum design (lol wake up people).  She's one of only two candidates with an actual education background.  While some of the naysayers attempt to attack her experience, the fact is that her and Sandy are the ONLY two who know exactly what its like to be in a classroom.  She has more experience in the classroom than four of the other candidates.  That argument is now weak, and weakens stronger arguments.  I'm looking forward to her outlining everyones actual qualifying "education experience" in a public forum.  The other do gooders are lost when it comes to the exact impact of every board decision.  How could they ever know what its like for our students and teachers.  They are the true "political climbers."[/quote]

No idea about your candidate, but as a general matter I just have to laugh when people say generic things like, a research-approach to using data.  Does that mean that you have researched the question and determined that as a general matter it is smart to take data into account?  Is APS not taking data into account?  Who isn’t performing research?[/quote]

Even a fool would know the data that is publicly available has been manipulated and is not transparent.  What rock are you hiding under? [/quote]
