[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS already cut public participation from 3 minutes to two minutes.

Some school boards make it even shorter.

Looks like there's a trend.  Some school boards REALLY don't want parents inconveniencing elected officials with their opinions.[/quote]

Or maybe they just want to get business done.  You can talk to your elected officials when you want. [/quote]

I attended Pekarsky and Keys Gamarra’s town hall last night. They took questions. There were only 24 people on the Zoom session. Including them and there assistants. 20 people got an hour of attention. They also had office hours pre-COVID. My rep still does them virtually. She also responds to email. They will engage. I mean, maybe not if you are abusive. But in general, you just need to be willing to show up. [/quote]

Same experience. I’ve always had my questions answered in McLaughlin’s town halls and on the few occasions I have e-mailed her I have received a thoughtful reply back. I always specify that I live in the Braddock district when I email. [/quote]
