[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the school board contains all or close to the majority representing only one party, what happens is that then the administrators think they are safe to get away with whatever they want. No checks. Having a school board that changes hands means that checks will also trickle down to the schools. It is easier for teachers, students, and parents to be heard when there isn't just one agenda being addressed.[/quote]

Say what you want about the Dems but I saw the Republicans hand out at my kids back to school night. Yikes. They’re completely out of touch.

I’ll stick with the Dems this year. [/quote]

Say what you want about Republicans but under Republicans, Fairfax had the number one school in the country for decades and one of the highest scoring and achieving and most sought after school districts in the entire country.  In just a decade or so, Democrats have destroyed that.  Voting for anything but these destructive people.  Destructive of an amazing school system, my children’s education, my property values.  Just vast and unparalleled distruction. [/quote]

The White and wealthy population of FCPS is doing better than ever. What has changed in the past two decades is that Fairfax now has more people of color and more poor people. Of course the total average scores are going to go down, but scores for White kids are still great.

How are the scores of your children affected by the scores of some poor Black kids down the hall? 
If someone wants to pay less for your property because there are now a few more poor Black/Brown kids around, that sounds like a problem between you and the buyer.[/quote]

Most of the wealthy people I know have left FCPS. They did before covid and didn't return. If they did, they left again.[/quote]
