Packed house at the BSVCA meeting! Welcome to to Councilors @j_chapman99 and @AmyJacksonVA!

Whether is nasty emails or, apparently, mailing inappropriate “desserts,” young women running for office don’t deserve dirty tactics. These are behaviors that keep good people, and especially women, from running for office. Do better, Virginia.

[Jewelyn Cosgrove @Jewelyn4ACPS]

No matter your party affiliation, this is harassment. Elizabeth, I’m sorry someone treated you so disrespectfully and I agree that these tactics have no place in our discourse.

[Elizabeth Lankford @LankfordforVA]

We need to be supporting and encouraging women, especially young women, to run for office, not use childish tactics to intimidate them https://t.co/nmJ9pgHKXL

Ok to be honest I didn’t expect people to start following me so now I’m at Captain Gregory’s with two of my former school board candidate friends!

[Jewelyn Cosgrove @Jewelyn4ACPS]

Another speaker concerned that the proposed plans list “impacts” only on the second school proposals and not on the connected network proposals.

“A second high school will not cause inequity, not will a single school alleviate it.” - Marc Solomon

Another argument for building more schools from former candidate Marc Solomon.

[Jewelyn Cosgrove @Jewelyn4ACPS]

More discussion of the evidence showing large schools struggle to meet the needs of students.

[Jewelyn Cosgrove @Jewelyn4ACPS]

So far lots of TC United shirts. Some interesting comments now discussing the evidence of two versus one high school and low income student outcomes

[Jewelyn Cosgrove @Jewelyn4ACPS]

Just arrived at tonight’s School Board Meeting to decide on the High School Project!

[Jewelyn Cosgrove @Jewelyn4ACPS]

Thank you, Alexandria! It was an amazing ride. Thank you for the opportunity to be grateful - to my supporters, my friends, my donors, my volunteers, and my voters. I am honored to have… https://t.co/zl4DudkX0g

[Jewelyn Cosgrove @Jewelyn4ACPS]

A heartfelt thank you to the people of Alexandria who voted for me, supported me, and believed in me. I am proud of the campaign we ran and it was an honor to be on the ballot this year. I look forward to supporting the work of the Alexandria School Board!
