So much for that. All the incumbents in District B were re-elected, including the vice chair, as was the incumbent in District C, who was chair.

Disappointing, but not surprising. Only SAHMs voted for school board; something like half the voters did not make school board selections. One incumbent out - an especially nasty District A member. So a thin majority of the school board is new, although the result is that guaranteed there will be publicly funded charter school in Alexandria within a year or two.

Think the charter school will be ready by next school year? Guaranteed by AY 2020-21, right?

They’re in negotiations with a consulting architect and a consulting engineer to put the building together now. They already approved a real estate procurement process, most recently amending an RFP in April and again in May. Tonight at the school board meeting, they are taking the first of several votes to go forward. Titans assasinated as of now.

You’re funny. The last school board chair wouldn’t send her own kids to her regular zoned (non JH) school. The top people get to self-transfer.

They go to MVCS, that's where most of Del Ray is zoned. I'm not sure why this thread is mostly about JH.

Because it's one of the three lowest performing schools in the entire state and people that pay $12,000 a year in property tax are required to send their kids there? Because a huge chunk of Del Ray is zoned for it? Because the city has had a DECADE AND A HALF to fix the problem and haven't? Because SB members and city counselors won't even send their kids there? Because they get transfers for themselves but deny others the same?

Yeah, not sure why this is being discussed on a forum about Va schools

The mayor (to-be)'s children go to MVCS where a HUGE chunk of Del Ray is zoned to. Only Del Ray south of Monroe is zoned to J-H.

That being said, I feel both sides of the conversation here. My child is at MVCS and I am watching our accreditation closely. VA lowered the bar, but we are at risk of losing accreditation. The city and the school board are currently failing these students and I hope that the new administration can turn it around.
