[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vihstadt. Post it to social media and make sure all your Dem friends know that if they care about APS then they should NOT vote Democrat for the County Board in the next few elections. I vote Democrat almost entirely but not at the County Board level.

Can not wait for my chance  to vote against Katie Cristol. I voted for her last go-around after a small group coffee with her focused on schools. She couldn’t care any less about the future of APS if she tried. [/quote]

Vihstadt got his political start in the schools and was president if the Yorktown HS PTA.   He was one of the first people decades ago to tell the Dem school board not to close the Reed School in Westover because of the demographic changes he saw in his own Arlington neighborhood

Twenty years later, the Reed School is being expanded and returned to a neighborhood school.  This will take pressure off (primarily) McKinley which was overcrowded after a large expansion

Vihstadt has his head in the schools because he knows it is so important to Arlington.   A major reason Nestle and Gerber came to Arlington is the schools.  Although a small portion of County residents have kids in schools, they are the reason for Arlington’s success.   Childless board members have no skin in the game and are trying to unseat Vihstadt for  the crime of being effective.

Vote the straight Dem ticket and watch the school rankings for the elementary and middle schools plummet as they have already done for Yorktown and Washington-Lee High Schools.

Your $1M shitshack will then be worth $700K. [/quote]
