[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the only one who finds this misleading?

Angelo Cocchiaro has spent the last six years in work on issues related to students and schools. Angelo has been a student organizer, mobilizing his student peers on issues affecting them. He is prepared to advocate in the very same spirit for our most important APS stakeholders: students. Angelo is also a former childcare provider and certified physical fitness & nutrition professional, part of the reason he is putting equity in food policy at the center of his campaign. Angelo also brings to the table a background of academic research in Title IX policy, gender-based violence in educational settings, and childcare policy.

Angelo’s involvement in our community dates back nearly a decade to 2014. Then, as a 13-year-old, Angelo participated in the Honor Flight Network with his granddad, taking military veterans to the Iwo Jima Memorial near where he lives now in Rosslyn. Angelo now sits on the APS School Health Advisory Board and is a member of a range of civic organizations, including the Arlington Rotary Club and its Youth Committee, the Radnor-Ft. Meyer Heights (RAFOM) Civic Association, and others. Angelo is a working group member of the Arlington County Food Security Coalition. Having experienced food insecurity himself, Angelo knows how important the issue is, especially as pandemic-era assistance programs are ending.

Angelo is running for the Arlington School Board to bring new voices to the table, bring people together, and deliver on the change that's overdue.[/quote]

You’ve got to be absolutely kidding with “involvement with this community dates back to 2014”!
I’m familiar with these flights, you don’t have to be local for these, but this is besides the point.

You are actually trying to frame a 13 yr old accompanying his grandfather to a single (non-APS, non-county related) event as “involvement with the community” since 2014.

*This* is misrepresentation, and beyond the pale, really.
