[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to ACPS, the “Connected High School Network or CHSN” and the adopted “Pinwheel Concept” will make the one-high-school-two-campuses work for the benefit of the city.

The majority voted for that so that’s how it’s going to be. [/quote]

Did the majority of Alexandria actually vote on this? I don't remember seeing this on any sort of referendum. Surely you're not referencing some sort of BS ACPS survey?[/quote]

The school board voted several years ago against a second high school.  So, people voted for it by electing people who supported the one connected high school concept.  That’s how representative government works.[/quote]

I talked with most of the candidates before the election in 2018. I don't remember a single one of them specifically endorsing or not endorsing a single high school. They all expressed their desire to listen and learn, and other pleasantries, but did anyone really run so definitively on the issue? My recollection is they all kind of ran as establishment candidates and were going to vote however Hutchings wanted them to vote. And I don't remember a single high school being so clear cut an outcome. Seems like Hutchings is the only one that did any critical thinking around the issue, and the then already elected board just got in line. [/quote]

I talked with all of the candidates for both school board and city council (and now delegate)

They don’t care. When it suits them, it is not their problem or they can’t do anything about the schools.

That is until there is political capital to be won from adopting some party cause with not basis in reality.

Hutchings was a do nothing and a racist. He was replaced by a follower. The current police chief is cut from the same cloth.

So if it’s four shootings on the exact same block, or repeated fights, stabbings and a student’s murder, they insist there is nothing they can do.[/quote]
