[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one thing this tells us is that when it comes to actual decisions "One Fairfax" means nothing and only delays decisions.

In upcoming elections I will automatically rule out any candidate who pledges loyalty to "One Fairfax" or starts talking about the need for "equity-based" solutions.  It tells us nothing about the actual decisions they'll make, but guarantees they'll chew up a lot of time talking about equity with no clear goal in mind. [/quote]

To add to this post, I had a conversation with Karen Keys Gamarra a couple of years ago where I told her that McLean needed more attention from the School Board - a boundary change and a place in the CIP queue for an eventual addition.  I challenged why she'd stood in the way of Janie Strauss's plan to go ahead and change the boundaries three years ago.

She started telling me how she was in no rush because they needed to do a "holistic review" of boundaries count-wide and, moreover, she thought McLean parents were behaving inappropriately by objecting to ever getting moved to Herndon.

I told her that had nothing to do with McLean, and was actually a small handful of Langley parents from Great Falls.  She then admitted she couldn't keep the difference between Langley and McLean straight.  The "holistic review" has never materialized and I doubt that she knows the difference between the two schools now, either. [/quote]
