Mark Spooner raises troubling allegations that the SB held a closed mtg in February of 2025 (in violation of open mtg rules), to secretly add a second staffer for each SB member at a cost to taxpayers of more than $100k per staffer. https://t.co/oAwo2uQmUU
SB 🧵:
"Computer-led instruction is replacing teacher-led instruction at a critical stage of children's development."
Community speakers speak forcefully in favor of reducing the use of screen-based learning in elementary schools.
In a sign of how little accountability there is on the SB, the motion to make an alleged embezzler the budget vice chair sails through on a 7-3 vote.
Your tax dollars at work.
🚨ENDORSEMENT: This Tuesday, March 3, voters in the Braddock District have an opportunity to vote for a school board candidate who prioritizes students over politics.
The nonpartisan Fairfax County Parents Association, representing thousands of Fairfax County parents, strongly endorses Saundra Davis. @SaundraDavisVA
Early voting is today, Feb 26, until 7pm, and Friday 1am-7pm, Saturday 9am-5pm at the Burke Centre Library.
Saundra’s commitment to student outcomes over bureaucracy and fiscal accountability to ensure students are the top priority is the key reason the FCPA encourages voters to support Saundra Davis on March 3.
Saundra has been a tireless advocate for students since the school doors first closed in 2020. She has not hesitated to speak to the school board or to the media when our children needed us the most. She has spent countless hours attending school board meetings and work sessions, talking to parents and helping parents advocate for their children. She is dedicated to making sure all children receive the best public education possible, prioritizing academics, and most importantly, Saundra puts the needs of students above party politics. The Fairfax County Parents Association is proud to give Saundra Davis our strongest school board endorsement. The students and families of Fairfax County will be well served by her commitment to doing the right thing in our public schools. You can learn more at https://t.co/Fpnpp43tXN
When parents across Fairfax County come together to support a candidate, it sends a powerful message. I’m proud to earn the endorsement of the Fairfax County Parents Association.
@7NewsDC No contest! @SaundraDavisVA has been putting kids first over politics for years. It's about time someone was on the board not to push an agenda but to ask the tough questions that will help put kids first once again in FCPS.
SB Mtg 🧵:
"The structure of the day & week is so inconsistent, my students have stopped asking why they have the day off. The joke at the HS is because it's Tuesday."
Dad challenges FCPS's incoherent calendar, & the severe disruption to learning from so many random days off.
@GovernorVA Don't worry, the left will turn this around and we'll go back to having a weak financial position within months of them taking over again. But at least our taxes will increase....
Virginia Democrats have officially jumped the shark. May today be the day the rest of America sees our plight and helps us turn Virginia red up and down the ballot. This kind of blue was never meant for our Commonwealth.
This is CRAZY
The state of Virginia is making people pay taxes on their cars, trailers, campers, RVs and boats EVERY YEAR based on their value
Every year you must again pay taxes on your vehicles, even if they’re paid off
- They give you an assessed value
- Then there is a rate per hundred dollars that you pay
- This year's rate is $2.35 per hundred dollars of the piece of property that you own
- Then they charge you per month that you own that item
For this woman to own her own cars in the state of Virginia this year, she was billed $2,104.45 (She shows the bill as proof)
This is separate from registration fees and tags.
“This bill right here is specifically for owning a car or camper trailer, whatever, in the state of Virginia.”
Taxes in America are out of control
@GuntherEagleman People want term limits only because they personally want someone else in charge. If they like their representative, they don't want term limits. Term limits limits our freedom to decide who we want representing us.
