[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which candidate is pro-ventilation?  That's all I need to know.[/quote]

Unfortunately, none.  One is potentially anti-ventilation, according to this thread.

Maybe the fitness guy will be better on health stuff in schools[/quote]

He sits on SHAB according to his website. Maybe he is the ventilation guy?[/quote]

He joined SHAB the same week he decided to run. [/quote]

Oh good lord. So, let's review, we have

- the leader of a divisive lobbying group in Arlington who has no other relevant leadership experience
- a PTA president who a lot of people didn't seem to like
- a young upstart with political ambitions and no real ties to APS

I'm learning towards the PTA president. At least she ran something relevant. Not everyone liked her but that's what happens when you put yourself out there. There are some crazy parents and you can't please everyone. Plus I wonder if the people badmouthing her now are from another campaign who see her as a threat.

A young person is really interesting and I will consider him but he'd be more appealing if he had better ties to Arlington and APS. I could really get behind a former 22 year old APS student with insight into the schools and the students' needs. Not sure about this guy. Do like his campaign's focus on students though.

And then we get to Miranda. I talked with her several times last go round and decided not to vote for her. She was too set and rigid on one viewpoint and couldn't see others perspective, or bring groups together. I truly think APE set back the cause of opening schools because they couldn't or didn't want to try to understand or work with others with different perspectives and needs - teachers who were fearful of going back into germy schools, Hispanic communities who were impacted by the pandemic in different ways than they were and wanted/needed to stay virtual, or people who just wanted some better safety measures in schools. That's not a road to good governance. [/quote]
