[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still, say what you want. Elizabeth Schultz calls out the social engineering crap the Board engages in and refocuses them back on policy making and guidance. Sometimes the Board doesn’t follow their own procedures but it’s not because someone doesn’t try to keep them honest. She does.[/quote]

Most of the day-to-day management of FCPS is handled by the Superintendent and those who work for him.  They do a very good job.  There is no better school superintendent in the DC region than Scott Brabrand.

The School Board oversees FCPS and deals with broader policy issues.  Most of those are non-controversial, but Schultz has tried to derail just about every initiative that she thinks her Tea Party masters would find objectionable.  She isn't successful, and all she's does is make sure that many Board meetings last until well after midnight due to her grandstanding.  The only people who benefit are the police and custodians who get paid overtime for hanging around later.  It certainly doesn't benefit the Springfield District to have a Board member so out of step with both her colleagues and the vast majority of the county's residents. [/quote]

Schultz is the only school board member with a willingness to stand up against the other wasteful school board members.

We need a balanced school board. Not this heavily one sided partisan school board consisting of no moderates, 2 conservatives and almost entirely very liberal members who are either  like Strauss (liberal policies for everyone else but not in my back yard) or McElven who thinks that fcps is one huge social experiment where academics, class sizes and teacher pay are at the bottom of the priority list.[/quote]
