[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entire School Board approach to education policy needs to be done away with. What are the benefits to having an elected board who only get their position through name recognition and political party fundraising?

We'd be far better off having real professionals with real degrees who are hired competitively into Board-like roles to represent each district. This would also remove bias and conflict of interest as each representative would likely be independent instead of having hidden agendas for their children's pyramids.[/quote]

I remember when the SB wasn’t an elected position and so many people were thankful that it was changing to an elected one. [/quote]

That was decades ago and whatever hopes people had that elected members would turn out to be an improvement have long since been dashed.  You could not come up with a worse group of people than the current members - and the way in which they are going about increasing their own salaries is just more evidence of this.  They stick kids in trailers and want to be paid more than many full-time employees.  They are disgusting. [/quote]

“They stick kids in trailers.”

No, Fairfax County residents do that when they vote against taxes (meals tax anyone?).  The construction budget isn’t nearly enough to fix the facility problem, and redistricting is the only thing that makes residents more unhappy than taxes.  [/quote]
