[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want some people with common sense who will be considerate of students and parents of all types--not just those with special needs and wants.

Davis is probably your best bet.

She is right down the middle moderate who strongly supports parents and students.

Like a poster said above, there is a snowballs chance in hell that Rs and moderates win a majority on the school board.  There is a miniscule chance that Rs and moderates win a tiny handful of 2 to 4 seats on the school board.

But even one moderate like Davis gives a voice to the centrist and right leaning parents in FCPS.

She is the best hope for moderates to have at least one person represent their voice on the school board.

If you care about education, do not vote straight D endorsed candidates.

We have to have discussion and debate so perhaps some of their worst fringe ideas can at least be challenged.

We cannot have 4 more years of unfettered political radicals from one party who are using the school board as a stepping stone for higher office and to push a fringe agenda.[/quote]

Hi Saundra! You don’t seem like a moderate to me. Still looking for my third at large but still researching, too. Glad there are so many choices this year.[/quote]

Not Saundra.

I don't even align with her on national politicals issues, but I pay attention to the school board, school policies and school board candidates to know that she is the strongest moderate running and the best chance for centrists and right leaning families to have a voice on the school board.

After the past few years in fcps, I am shocked that any one who pays even a little bit attention to the schools, property values, use of tax dollars, etc can stomach voting a straight D ticket.

Saundra is a moderate.

She is strong, committed and very informed.  She knows her stuff.

And she is not some partisan person who will only listen to the loudest fringe voices or only hear people who think exactly like she thinks or only works for her party leaders and the dictates of national donors.

Anyone who cares about education issues and cares that the way the schools educate students affect all of society should give a serious look at Davis and anyone else not on the fringes  who can give a centrist, moderate voice or a right leaning counterweight to the democratic stronghold on the school board.

Fairfax county will never elect a republican majority school board.  That ship has sailed.

So you can safely vote for any centrist or right leaning candidates or even conservative candidates knowing that at best, this might result in 1-4 school board members who at least offer a voice of discussion and dissent to this board.

Many of you cannot stomach voting for anyone right of center.  I get that.

So vote for Davis.  She is a moderate and is strong enough to speak out for students and parents.
