[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh Jacinta Green  :lol:

From her (poorly written) op-ed on why she is running for city council:

"Equitable access to a high-quality education for all is why I chose to run for the Alexandria City School Board. I know that a high-quality education is key to escaping poverty, helps reduce inequities and is critical for the prosperity of our city. On the School Board, I have fought to close the achievement gap, ensure the voices of parents and students are front and center, achieve educational equity and support our teachers to ensure they receive the resources and pay they deserve."

She'd been on the board for six years...ACPS is in worse shape. The idea that any school board member in the last six years has ensured that parent and student voice (unless you're an ACPS cheerleader/PTAC sycophant) are front and center is laughable. [/quote]

+1. She has done little of substance during her years on school board and has never once returned an email or engaged with parents. She keeps being re-elected, though, so I could see her being elected to CC as well, based on what I don't know (name recognition?).[/quote]

She will absolutely be elected to CC. Also, have you every tried to find out what her day job actually is? It's not easy. [/quote]

I honestly don't think she has a job. Neither does Baird. Or Rief. People say they are "consultants" or own a consulting firm, but who are their clients? I am not sure what Greene does for her day job. [b]I think the other two are stay at home parents, which is fine. But don't pretend you are a small business owner or a consultant or professor.[/b]

Who are the people running in C? Are Baird and Booze running again in B? What about A? Is it Rief and Tim Beatty?

Why does ADC field all these recent college grads? Are these the only people with time on their hands to run for office?

I am not a fan of Jackson, but Gaskins lacks experience. It is beyond me how people think they are qualified. What is Wilson's new job? I thought he was a civil servant for his day job.[/quote]

Agree. Finding information on Rief is hard. And boy, does she have some really wacky ideas based on her candidate form for an out of state group that gave her $$$.[/quote]

Please share.[/quote]

She fed a NY group some nonsense that there was a charter school movement in Alexandria that she was fighting. If the group had bothered to research the city, they would know how laughable that claim was. [/quote]
