Stephanie Lundquist-Arora joins @LarryOConnor to expose Fairfax County Public Schools for ballooning its budget on "green initiatives" and central administrators while student achievement plummets.

[The Daily Signal @DailySignal]

Fairfax County schools cut 275 teaching positions, increased class sizes, and eliminated school staff—while spending $2.2 million on 19 "green initiative" employees.

Per-pupil spending jumped from $15K to $24K since 2020. SAT scores dropped 35 points.

A quarter of students can't read or do math at grade level.

🏫 275 TEACHERS CUT. CLASS SIZES UP. AND FCPS IS PAYING FOR PhDs FOR ADMINISTRATORS MAKING $200,000+. 🏫

Fairfax author Stephanie Lundquist-Arora got the receipts.

While Superintendent Michelle Reid ($445,353/year) tells parents FCPS is in crisis from "years of chronic underfunding" — severe enough to cut 275 teaching positions and raise class sizes — the district quietly launched a taxpayer-funded doctoral program at George Mason University for senior administrators.

Some of the administrators selected and their salaries:
💰 William Solomon — Chief Human Resources — $278,323
💰 Rebecca Baenig — Assistant Superintendent — $233,309
💰 Pablo Resendiz — Assistant Superintendent — $228,735
💰 Kimberly Greer — Executive Principal — $223,318
💰 Bettrys Huffman — Executive Director — $216,766

It gets worse.
📌 Geovanny Ponce — Chief of Schools, $289,565/year — ran the selection process. He picked two of his own former colleagues from Houston ISD — a district that was placed under state intervention for performance and governance failures.
📌 Reid recruited Ponce, Solomon, and Resendiz from that same failing Houston district in 2023.
📌 Resendiz — selected for the taxpayer-funded PhD — is already leaving FCPS to take a job in Fort Worth. Fairfax taxpayers keep paying for his doctorate.
📌 Inside sources say Gustavo Suarez — identified as Ponce's father-in-law — was hired as a business operations assistant ($79,774/year) in a non-competitive process.
📌 The School Board certified Reid as compliant in workforce management at its December 4, 2025 meeting — with this PhD program already running. They knew. They signed off.

Not enough money for teachers. Plenty of money for six-figure administrators to collect doctorates.

The 12 Democrat-endorsed School Board members who approved this:
🔹 Chair Sandy Anderson (Springfield)
🔹 Vice Chair Robyn Lady (Dranesville)
🔹 Karl Frisch (Providence)
🔹 Dr. Ricardy Anderson (Mason)
🔹 Tom Dannan II (Braddock)
🔹 Seema Dixit (Sully)
🔹 Mateo Dunne (Mount Vernon)
🔹 Ryan McElveen (At-Large)
🔹 Kyle McDaniel (At-Large)
🔹 Melanie Meren (Hunter Mill)
🔹 Ilryong Moon (At-Large)
🔹 Marcia St. John-Cunning (Franconia)

No Republican on the Board. Zero outside oversight.

🗳️ All 12 seats on the ballot November 2027. Mark the date.

American says the Somalians in Minnesota don’t wait in lines at cash registerers like everyone else. They walk right up to the front and get helped

She says they show open racism and hatred to White People

“So I live in Minnesota and I'm so sick of these damn Somalians — checkout aisle and there's an a Somalian girl who walks up to the other cashier and I look behind us and there's like 20 people”

“You know, this is America. People stand in lines in America — they don’t assimilate”

“She doesn't wanna assimilate into our environment or be a a part of anything. Obviously just her attitude and hatred towards white people. A lot of these Somalians do not like white girls.

And I, I think that it's because we can show our hair. Maybe that's just my own opinion. But I grew up around a lot of them in Minneapolis, you know, in school there was tons of 'em and they never wanted to hang out with the white girls ever”

There is a very simple and obvious solution. Send them ALL back. If they’re legal, denaturalize and deport. They all must go

.@LarryOConnor and Stephanie Lundquist-Arora expose what critics are calling a major misuse of funds inside Fairfax County Public Schools.

A $4B budget—but 275 teaching jobs cut, larger class sizes, and taxpayer money reportedly covering PhDs for already high-paid administrators.

Questions now mounting: where is the money really going?

[Republican Party of Minnesota @mngop]

The 14,000 Spirit Airlines workers who lost their jobs, and Minnesota families now paying higher fares and having less choice can thank Amy Klobuchar for teaming up with Elizabeth Warren to kill their business.

Amy teamed up with Elizabeth Warren to kill the Spirit-Jet Blue merger that would have increased competition with the Big Four airlines.

Electing career DC politicians with ZERO business experience has consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.

This statement from Klobuchar didn’t age well.
