Hmm.

Doesn't sound at all like you are talking about Saundra Davis. I am skeptical because this post does not even remotely match reality.

OP. I certainly am talking about Saundra. She had a fine opening statement where she talked about how she’s an Independent and former Democrat and we need to get politics out of schools.

Then for every question asked she just didn’t actually go into any details with her answer.

I was actually considering voting for her before I went to the forum. Now I’m most definitely not.

I also researched her more and read her extremely disappointing answers to the Special Education PTA questionnaire where she didn’t actually answer any of the questions. My kids have 504/IEPs as did I in school so I am in tune with special ed and disability issues. She seemed very rushed and not at all concerned about our community. Linking so you can see for yourself:

Please share how has the 100% Democrat FCPS School Board helped or benefited your 504 Plan/IEP kids, particularly with issues of special education and disability during the past four years. And, how consistent (or inconsistent) has that been with what the Democrat endorsed candidates filled out on the Special Education PTA questionnaire?

This current school board is redesigning literacy standards to align with the science of reading. Parents of students with dyslexia has been advocating for this for years.

DP. You mean finally allowing phonics to be taught - after years and years of parents and teachers begging? You do know the only reason the SB finally agreed is because the Fairfax County NAACP requested phonics, right?

Yes. Most school districts still follow outdated literacy standards. FCPS is leading the way thanks to this school board.

Dragging their heels seems far more accurate than leading the way, but I guess the Fairfax NAACP finally gave them cover to do something that more conservative voices had been advocating for years.

and yet most of the Republican candidates couldn't be bothered to tell us their position on the Equitable Access to Literacy Plan.

"Equitable Access to Literacy"?? Maybe YOU should tell us WTH that is supposed to mean, for starters. We'll wait.

Redesigning the literacy standards to science of reading and teaching phonics, supporting education to make early interventions with students who need some extra support reading.

Youngkin himself supported legislation for the Virginia Literacy Act. FCPS was required to develop the Equitable Acess to Literacy plan in order to align and follow Youngkin's guidance. FCPS simply added the word "equitable" into their program plan.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about and are only spouting partisan hate and misinformation. Go actually read about the VLA and EAL plan then come back and discuss.

“I’m an independent” isn’t a good enough argument for me to vote for someone. I ended up voting straight Dem because they actually have detailed policies on their websites and all answered the questionnaires with detail.

I voted for Moon, Davis, and Hussein because disrupting the dysfunctional echo chamber otherwise known as the FCPS School Board seemed like a very good idea.

My community has been lied to repeatedly by Democrats on the School Board, including in response to questionnaires completed in 2019, so forgive me for not weighting these “detailed” answers too heavily. They don’t hold themselves accountable to their past promises at all, so it’s time we did.

You mean the same Fairfax NAACP that requested whole word first, realized it was a disaster, and changed positions? They should not get credit for a solution to a problem that they had a part in creating.

Saundra Davis gave two-sentence answers to the questionnaire that did not go into specifics. It's quite frankly insulting to us in the SPED community that she couldn't come up with even an hour or so to actually develop detailed answers.

You had your own thread to complain about the responses or lack thereof to the SEPTA questionnaire. Must you hijack EVERY thread with the same complaints?

You have no right to talk AT ALL about disability issues if you didn’t fill out that questionnaire. And yet these candidates like Harry Jackson and Tony Sabio and Paul Bartkowski will continue to pander and talk about special ed issues when they couldn’t even be bothered to fill out the PTA questionnaire.
