Hi Yupette,
I'm a parent with a child who attends Washington and Lee High School. And I am tired of the same sock puppet Democrats being nominated and elected to the School Board.
Whatever Barbara Kanninen and Nancy Van Doren say they want to do on the School Board in fact they have to go along with whatever decisions are made by the Arlington Democratic Committee behind closed doors. So, because Jay Fisette wants a new "Taj Mahal" elementary school (with lots of parking) at Thomas Jefferson Middle School they will have to facilitate that. Doesn't matter what the neighbors who live around TJ want.
It gets worse. At least three School Board members have retired or resigned in recent years because they disagreed with ACDC's agenda for APS - more strains on an already-stressed school system because of massive urbanization.
Barbara's and Nancy's performance at the Civic Federation candidates' forum last week - platitudes and promises - indicated they will do only what the Arlington Democratic Committee tells them to do. If they serve on the School Board at some point one or both will get fed up and quit.
I ask the School Board to appoint an Independent to serve the remainder of Sally Baird's term of office. I'm voting for Independent Audrey Clement in November. Virginia's school boards are supposed to be independent of party politics. But Arlington's School Board is even more partisan than the County Board was before Chris Zimmerman left. And Barbara Kanninen and Nancy Van Dorn are a couple of Democratic sock puppets.

Oh, Nancy, I love what you've done with your hair.
Does anyone know how many children from Central America the Arlington Democratic Party has agreed to accept as permanent residents of Arlington - 100? 500? 1000?
Another decision made behind closed doors that we will have to pay for.
Ask Arlington Democratic Committee members Walter Tejada and Emma Violand-Sanchez.
Appears the cost per student this school year will be $539,000,000 / 24,000 = approximately $22,450 per student.
What would Kanninen and Van Doren do that would be any different from Simon and Baird? They all make the same BS promises.
Barbara and Nancy will sit back and allow Carrie Johnson to facilitate TJ, per Jay Fisette's and ACDC's instructions.
Appointments to the supposedly-independent School Board should not be made on the basis of party loyalty, but that's exactly what's occurring.
Yes, Van Dorn's appointment is a reward for Party loyalty.
ACDC isn't a political party anymore, it's a regime.
Kanninen and Van Dorn are already scheming how to force a elementary school on the TJ neighborhood.
