It’s an interesting choice of words because someone who has been in office for 4 years ought to be able to point to past accomplishments and say “I hope I have earned your vote.”

But Frisch can’t do this, so I guess we can all pretend he’s a first-time candidate with the best of intentions.

What? "I hope I can earn your vote" is what all candidates say. They don't want to be cocky and sound like they are entitled to your vote.

Nope. They point to past accomplishments, if they have any, and show they are humble by saying “I hope” that “I have earned your vote” so as to not sound presumptuous. Frisch’s problem is that he can’t point to past achievements that would warrant a vote of continued confidence.

That's an inaccurate assessment of the situation, but it has become unbelievably pervasive.

The site has since been scrubbed but after Frisch pulled off his switcheroo he posted about how reallocating the money to Dunn Loring saved Blake Lane Park, and those who did not want Blake Lane Park to be used for a school were quite vocal about how important it was to have a dog park in that area.

The mature thing would have been to cancel a school at Blake Lane if there were no need or overwhelming opposition, not to try and put a nail in its coffin by plowing the money into a different school that isn’t needed. He got the other Board members to go along with it because they were so burned out from dealing with Covid-related issues, but it was and remains a colossally stupid waste of money.

What I would like to see is a document that justifies Dunn Loring. It can't just be that Shrevewood was previously overcrowded. There has to be a bigger plan in play due to Tyson's growth.

Building a new school to address overcrowding is a good thing.

It is.

Unfortunately, Frisch is getting a new school built that’s surrounded by schools that are well under capacity. The growth is elsewhere. It’s a huge waste of money.

This. Shrevewood overcrowding could have been fixed with a simple boundary adjustment to Stenwood and Freedom Hill.

Shrevewood’s overcrowding has been fixed.

Vote Frisch out!! The guy is scum.

The overcrowding is temporarily fixed. The numbers will increase as the Covid classes transition out of ES. Are new families choosing private? I don’t think so.

If you look at the membership numbers for Shrevewood, the current second grade class is the largest at 116, followed by sixth grade at 104 and then first grade at 93.

I think the current principal solved the overcrowding issue due to the Level IV cluster model. You can see the increased numbers at Lemon Road.

It was a brilliant move, frankly. He got rid of problem parents and overcrowding at the same time, LOL!

You must not know the importance of test scores if you believe the issues is solved.

+1 It is likely test scores will go down and FARMS numbers will increase as a specific demographic leaves after 2nd grade. Long term, there is the potential for home values to decrease. It’s not “lol” as a PP stated.

You don’t have kids at the school.

You’re right, but I did. I now have a kid at Marshall, and I care able the value of my home. Don’t you?

The value of my home has increased significantly in the past 10+ years, so nope, not worried. The location alone means that house prices will continue to increase.

I don't think anyone needs to worry about their home values. Homes are overpriced as it is. jeez.

Dunn Loring is completely unnecessary. Karl Frisch is a lying scumbag. Shrevewood is a great neighborhood school and will continue to be one despite the collapse of the AAP classrooms.'

I have kids at Kilmer and Marshall now, and am not concerned. When we started at Shrevewood, the AAP center was at Haycock, and Shrevewood lost those kids. Now they go to Lemon Road. But they first needed to attend Shrevewood to gain access to those programs. Furthermore, our neighborhood continues to get more and more popular with private school families.

Comparatively speaking, with all the development in Falls Church City and planned near the WFC Metro, the Shrevewood ES district - which is close to the development (and Mosaic) but not directly affected by it - should just become a more attractive area to live. That won’t change if test scores go down a bit due to more families sending their kids to Lemon Road.

But the enrollment trends are down, so it’s not like building a new school in Dunn Loring is a necessary solution to anything happening now at Shrevewood. If there is any need to build a new ES in that general area, it is in Tysons, or they could have looked to reopen Pimmit Hills ES. If they reopened Pimmit Hills that would position Westgate to serve more of Tysons and allow Lemon Road to serve more of Haycock as the area near the WFC Metro gets developed. But Dunn Loring remains an unnecessary waste of taxpayer money, courtesy of Frisch.

You keep posting here but it’s clear you don’t have a child at the school. Those of us whose children stayed are happy with the way things are now. We don’t care about test scores because we feel our children are in a better situation now. And it’s not just education, it’s also socially. The kids are happier this year.

DP. Either way there’s nothing happening with the enrollment numbers or trends at Shrevewood now that justifies Frisch’s folly at Dunn Loring.
