[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we vote for one at-large candidate or up to three?[/quote]

You vote for 3 at large and one for your district.

On a side note, the school board will likely end up with all 12 slots hoing to the democrats.

Unless a moderate like Davis or Tisler get elected, once again we will have a school board with no dissent, debate or varying opinions, especially since Megan McLaughlin from Braddock district is retiring.  Megan was one of the very last "old school" moderate or centrist democrats left in Fairfax County.  The other moderate on the State level, Chap Peterson,  lost his D primary to a very liberal opponent, and Pat Herrity, the board of supervisors last remaining R in the entirety of northern Virginia, had his district gerrymandered with the goal of the D dominated board of supervisors to redistrict him out of office.

If you are happy with having zero representation of moderates or your the roughly 35 to 40% conservative neighbors, vote for the status quo.  Remember, those who decide the D endorsements are not the moderates in the party.  They are the far left activists, and the candidates reflect this.

If you want to see at least a little dissent or debate, vote for Davis as a centrist or a republican or two.

The Rs will not win enough seats to make a voting impact on the school board.

But

Having one or two voices on the table from centrists or right of center people means perhaps there is at least one voice of dissent from the center in what is guaranteed to be a 10 to 12 far ldft democratic majority.[/quote]

The argument “you might not be conservative but you should vote conservative because your neighbors are” is wild. Is that all you have to offer?[/quote]

DP, but I thought it was a fairly persuasive argument.

The current School Board sucks and one (though not the only) reason why they suck so much is that there is next to no dissent.  What there was provided by Megan McLaughlin, but she was inconsistent and she'll be leaving.

As bad as this School Board has been - and it has been utterly terrible - the next one could be even worse if there aren't some moderate voices objecting to the craziness, the virtue-signaling, and the hypocrisy of what you end up getting with 12 members all from the same party.  [/quote]
