[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academics have been a very low priority in fcps for the last 3 years, since the new school board won 100% partisan dominance.

The priority is political issues.  Not academic excellence.[/quote]

So is anyone from the other party actually going to run a serious candidate?  Someone who focuses on academics? Because the only people they ran last time were those who focused on sex ed and other wedge-issue, completely non-academic issues. I'd LOVE to see the Republicans run a serious, academically-focused candidate with some serious education chops. But they won't, they'll run two fringe nutjobs whose pet issues are gender and bathrooms, they'll get clobbered by the Dems, and nothing will change. [/quote]

I want to see a slate of non partisan candidates passionate about students and education or even seem to care about students and education.  Preferably moderate Democrats to take the whole partisan food fight off the table.  It is ridiculous how Education has turned into Fight Club for politically obsessed Adults.[/quote]

I want boring, competent moderate Democrats who focus on important academic issues including equity in academics--which is one of the most pressing academic issues in FCPS right now.[/quote]

I want boring competent technocrats who stop push for equality of opportunity and drop equity as a metric because the only way to hit it is to lower the top. [/quote]
