[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janie Strauss has always given lip service to "One Fairfax" type thinking.  But, she has never put her money where her mouth is when it involved her own district.  Some of her people would have been prime targets for South Lakes, but she would not let them be touched.  She was more than willing to have North Reston be sent to South Lakes until her Herndon people screamed.  Then, she stepped in and told Stu to find another solution--which was to take some affluent kids from Westfield.  Stu really wanted all of Reston to be at South Lakes, but North Reston wanted no part of it.[/quote]

[b]Strauss is not running again.[/b] I do know there is a growing Great Falls coalition to ensure the community is not cut in half to serve "One Fairfax" goals and policies. The right way to address this problem is NOT to move kids around in the hopes that 'rich kids' will improve the test scores (real goal, let's not kid ourselves), but to really target the individual schools that are failing with plans that work. This problem was created by lax Fairfax County and town of Herndon (as an example) policies and expecting 'rich kids' to fix it is beyond the pale. [/quote]

The Dems have a warm body running and the GOP has no one yet.  I will cross over if the GOP puts up someone moderate and knowledgeable. [/quote]

GOP, go find your Louise Epstein.  She will have a chance in the fall. [/quote]
