[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're voting for Pree Ann Johnson and Tammy Ignacio.  I have had the honor of working with both as a parent.  They are honest and up front.  They don't cater to the popular vote and they will not be pressured to do something that is wrong.  They both understand kids really well and both know how to get things done in ACPS.

I am not sure if we will cast a third ballot.  The other candidates seem to have positions that don't coincide with ours.  We want safety in schools, whether that safety be virus-related or physical, and the other candidates have a vested interest in keeping schools open no matter how unsafe it may become.  We don't use ACPS for childcare and I don't trust people who do.

Although we don't have children in the high school, we also want people who will vote to return the SROs to the secondary schools.  It is absolutely insane that there are no SROs at ACHS even though the principal has said he wants and needs that service for his school.[/quote]

Out of Kelly Booz, Ashley Simpson Baird, and Bridget Shea Westfall you think their positions don't coincide with yours? What exactly are you aginst? Restoring community trust in ACPS, having clear communication, addressing facilities issues, restoring accountability?

What exactly about Dr. Simpson Baird, Ms. Booz, and Ms. Westfall do you think is unsafe? All of them are for public health and science. Honestly, I don't get it. Where have any of them ever advocated for keeping schools open no matter what? Kelly Booz works for the teachers union! Bridget Westfall works for HHS. Dr. Simpson Baird has an incredibly well thought out website with her positions on every issue. What exactly are any of these candidates advocating for that is unsafe? The Biden-Harris administration also wants to keep schools safe and open. It's also a VA law.

Honestly, I am confused. So you are saying you aren't voting for these very well qualified women, not even one, because they have school aged kids and are working moms? How do you know Simpson Baird, Booz, and Westfall's child care situations? Honestly, women who don't support women are the worst. [/quote]
