I find it difficult to believe that anyone running for the School Board wants to defund public schools.  i think it is a great talking point for the left.[/quote]

Believe it  https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/group-tied-to-charter-school-backers-spent-thousands-in-va-school-board-election/2018/11/24/2a11fbc0-e696-11e8-a939-9469f1166f9d_story.html

This article is behind a firewall and appears to be five years old.  What jurisdiction was involved?  [/quote]

Big nothing.  I am a subscriber.  This was not about Fairfax:  Mostly Alexandria and a little bit of Arlington.

From the article:
"The source of their financial boost: Leaders in Education Fund, the political giving arm of Leadership for Educational Equity, an organization that trains Teach for America alumni to run for public office and is tied to billionaire donors allied with the charter school lobby.

Education experts say the donations may portend an effort to bring more charters to Virginia, a state with restrictive rules governing the publicly funded but independently operated schools. Nolan and Suarez, both of whom won school board seats, condemned assertions that the donations were tied to a charter school push."

This is a scare tactic.[/quote]
