That's what I'm trying to base my vote on. Unfortunately, very few of the candidates go into much substance about services for students with disabilities. Saundra Davis' website says " I will point out and help rectify when FCPS is failing to walk the walk when it comes to students with disabilities." But that is not substantial at all. Aucoin doesn't talk about it at all and only throws around that parents rights crap.

I tried to give Harry Jackson a chance. I really did. And I thought he put the laughing at the autistic performer behind him. But I watched him in a recent youtube video on a show talk about what he called "ADA accommodations." If you're running for school board you should know the difference between ADA, IDEA, and 504. I'll stick with Melanie who even though she has her problems she has always been insightful when I've talked with her about IEPs.

She voted to keep schools closed for all children while sending her own children to a teaching pod.  She gives lip service only to caring for the kids.  And, she thinks eating at hibachi restaurants shows her support for the Asian community.

I don't get to vote in Hunter Mill, but I want someone who supports all children.

Stick with the person who denied children with special needs school for a year during the pandemic as the 'equity' candidate AND lost an OCR lawsuit for denying children those services. Makes sense. [/quote]

I have my problems with her (those aren't them), but at least she knows the difference between the laws protecting students with disabilities. It's a low bar, I know, but Harry Jackson doesn't meet that at all. I'm not happy about my vote for Melanie (and I voted for Paul Thomas in the endorsement btw), but I can't stand to vote for Jackson.[/quote][/quote]

It’s so frustrating that the republicans screwed up by endorsing crazies like Jackson. Many of us are on the lookout for moderates of any party. Unfortunately, contrary to Saundra or her surrogates who post constantly on DCUM, Davis is [b]NOT[/b] moderate. I still might vote for her, though, because we eyed diversity of opinions on the board and one person so be able to ban books.[/quote][/quote]
