Just saw this? I feel like this is a plant. Anyway, can anyone confirm that this is a new campaign and not someone just stumbling upon her last campaign?

New! From the email that announced:

“Your support was crucial two years ago, and I'm asking for it again. I'm running for School Board in 2023 and I can't do it without you!

My priorities are simple:
Focusing on instruction that supports our students.
Prioritizing the resources to recruit, support, and retain our teachers.
Setting expectations that promote the best in all.
Providing oversight that asks tough questions on the budget and facilities.
Communicating with the community in a frequent, clear, and transparent way.”

I would never trust the judgment of someone who has been a leader in that group. Beyond all of their terrible behavior during the pandemic, they were still pushing GOP propaganda in 2022.

Arlington already rejected her once. Do it again.

Really?! is this what "GOP propaganda" look like:

from Miranda's website: "I’ve been an APS parent since 2015. I was a founding member of the Drew PTA in 2019 and still serve as Social Media Chair, am involved with the Montessori Public School of Arlington PTA, and serve as site liaison for the Drew/Green Valley Girls on the Run team. I’m a member of the Early Childhood Education Committee for the Advisory Council on Teaching & Learning. I volunteer as a Precinct Captain for the Arlington Democrats and spent time last fall knocking doors and poll greeting to elect local Democrats. I’m also a member of Green Valley Civic Association’s Executive Committee and our delegate to the Civic Federation.

In my professional life as a lawyer, I devote substantial time to volunteer pro bono work. I currently represent Planned Parenthood and litigate abortion rights in federal court, and I’ve mentored younger lawyers in housing rights cases and parole proceedings. "

She is a DINO. She's in it to win it, and has the race all locked up. She says the right Dem things while her base in her parent group will support her through the caucus and all the way to the election. She's very smary, savvy. It's not even a real race. She's going to run away with this.

She's put in a lot of time over many years pretending to be a Democrat so she can win a School Board seat in Arlington County? That doesn't even begin to make sense.

She is a lifelong Democrat. The fact she agreed with the Democratic President that school closures were wrong doesn't make her a Republican, unless you think AOC and those to the left of her are the only true Democrats.

Whatever she calls herself, she has aligned herself with a group of people who are anti-mask, anti-CRT, pro-voucher, pro-Youngkin, Ian Prior, APE, Asra, and even a few anti-LGTBQ.

You literally are making stuff up. APE has never touched those hot button issues. Jeff needs to block the IP address of this absurd troll that is ruining every APS thread with their agenda.

You are correct that APE doesn't publicly take a stance. They have perfected the art of saying oh we're a big tent, while allowing in all of those people and then not taking a public stance

For instance, APE has in it an extreme pro voucher member, and also an extreme and vocal anti LGBTQ member who lead the movement against the inclusive pro trans APS policy. Also, APE had a lot of members against masks last winter during the surge, so they very noticeably did not support masking last winter when almost every other group did.

Turns out they were right about masks. We all got it anyway and now no one wears masks.

You can’t hold someone responsible for what other people in a diverse group do. It would be like assuming you have all the same opinions as someone because you are both members of the same PTA.

I do question the judgment of someone to align themself - for years - with those people. Including people who were horrible to teachers, schools, and other parents.

Wasn’t it her very own campaign manager who yelled over a parent during a SB meeting?

So you’re saying if you didn’t like the politics of another parent in the PTA you would leave the organization instead of “aligning” with them?

I would denounce any harmful behavior towards teachers, parents, schools along with anti-mask, anti-crt, PDE, etc.

Disagree. She will have great difficulty shaking the APE connection and turning the minds of the self-righteous, enlightened AEM folks. On the other hand, if they are really a quiet minority, based on her competition so far, maybe you're right.

Exactly.

If you were actually reading their newsletters, you’d see it. On the surface, she’s a shiny D. But she has been with this group for years. That says plenty.

What newsletters? APE newsletters? Those consistently have the best information about APS. Here's the most recent one - real RWNJ stuff lol. This poster is seriously mental. https://www.arlingtonparentsforeducation.org/enews/enews-february-21-2023

Yes, they frequently have inaccurate info and/or skewed interpretations.

They were also pushing the GOP lies around VMPI.

This has been discussed here and on AEM. Nothing new.

Yes, discussed by the same group of crazies on AEM with literally zero factual basis. You have a grudge, which is fine, but can you stop derailing every thread?

Smart Restart needs some purpose in life now that they’re irrelevant.

She is EXTREMELY committed to the 'keep Key on Key' movement, anyone who feels differently must have nefarious motives or be stupid. She can be kind of standoffish. I don't know who the other candidates are.

That's the way Mary Kadera was about McKinley disappearing. Didn't stop her from getting on the Board.

That is true up to a point. Mary K was McKinley PTA president at the time- and she represented the McKinley viewpoint- Mckinley was more caught of guard then Key, and there were other options- moving ats to mcKinley was not the only viable option.
In contrast- Erin was part of the keep key on key movement for years. My memory on this issue goes back a long time- multiple times aps planning staff tried to engage the Key community about the need to move and get them to work collaboratively on a location. It was very clear for a long time that they needed the Key building as a neighborhood school. Erin was part of, if not the leader of, a group of parents who treated the staff with contempt and mocked them for even trying to raise the idea of a move. She absolutely refused to consider the validity of any of the data the staff presented about the need for a neighborhood school at the Key site, and she was extremely dismissive of any Key parent trying to suggest that we should be open to a new location. She was absolutely caught up in groupthink about it- talking to that group of parents was like talking to a buzz saw.

I wouldn’t hold that view against Erin, as there were strong opinions on both sides. Key Immersion and Science Focus were initially created to ensure demographic balance in the Lyon Village through Rosslyn neighborhoods after a decade of middle class flight from the public elementary schools in that part of the county. Key served that purpose well until recently. Change is hard for neighborhoods and stakeholders. The HB Woodlawn community certainly didn’t want to move, but they eventually did move to Rosslyn, and the Stratford Jr High building is now Dorothy Hamm MS. . . . I’m looking forward to hearing her and the other candidates’ views on the current issues.

Holding a perspective is one thing. Rude and off-putting behavior and approaches to push that perspective is another, and is not a good characteristic for a SB member.

where does that say he is running for school board? He is utterly and totally unqualified- but I don't see any sort of school board announcement.

Has he worked in schools or is he a parent?

He's 22, recently graduated from college. His resume screams politics and that is likely why he's immediately running for local SB. His interest is politics, not APS.

Could you post some specifics? VMPI was a hugely unpopular hot mess that started with the express goal of not doing any accelerated math until 11th grade, that’s why they backed off of the initial ambitions.

Yes but APE is not just a Facebook group. They registered last year as a lobbying group. So what they say and do is quite different than if they were just a FB discussion group, which they are not.

Yes, their group's positions are on their website. Less device time, learning loss recovery, higher teacher page. Real culture war stuff. LOL

Erin's FB issues page looks like she cut and pasted from APE's website.

Very impressed with Maggie but her background sounds a lot like Mary and Bethany. I think we need someone with strong budget fundamentals and willingness to buck the group think. In that sense, Miranda has clearly proven that she will wade into controversy, lol. Where was Maggie during the pandemic? Did she take a viewpoint on the most critical issue facing our kids?

https://leadingeducators.org/blog/do-more-with-teacher-appreciation/

^good stuff that we need in APS

"Joyce and Showers' work landed on the long reading list that Maggie Slye drafted after being tapped to retool Washington's coaching program.

Slye, who has since become vice principal at Tubman Elementary School in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of the city, says that with Common Core coming, the District wanted to get more "bang for our buck."

In 2011, Slye devised the new coaching program around a few core principles she saw as essential to good teacher training: It should be provided by an expert who knows what good teaching looks like, it should be ongoing so that a teacher gets training multiple times, and it should be tailored to each teacher's needs.

While the specifics look different at every school, each coach typically works with eight to 10 teachers for six-week periods. The cycles start with a teacher and coach coming up with specific goals and plans. The coach then spends the next six weeks sitting in on the teacher's classes, discussing what worked and didn't work, and then helping the teacher plan his or her next lesson. How much one-on-one coaching a coach does varies greatly by school and teacher. In some cases, a coach is visiting a teacher's class multiple times a week, while in some schools, coaches are doing more group sessions with sets of teachers."
