@capitalweather Do you have a prediction of timing of storms Friday? We are planning an outdoor event from 9am-2pm.

@ArlingtonVotes Will you post results of where Maureen and Susan’s second place would have gone if they were counted?

[Trish Madden @TrishMadden7]

@ArlingtonVotes For intellectual sake, will you post totals including where Susan and Maureen’s second place votes would have gone had they been eliminated?

@MaryKaderaAPS @APSCardinalElem @chbrowncardelem Jamestown and Cardinal partnered up this year on theme/decorations and shared volunteers. Maybe next year we can push Yatch Rock and you would be welcome to come as our school board liaison!

ICYMI APS SB Chair chastised fellow board member Thursday night for her dissenting vote on a contentious $170M project, suggested dissent is "heartbreaking" for students (even though student speakers highlighted concerns at same mtg). https://t.co/EhoI4QH4Bf

@JamestownAPS @APSVirginia @McCarthyM_JES @monicaroache They are wonderful!! We are lucky to have them.

[Trish Madden @TrishMadden7]

@MaryKaderaAPS @APSCareerCenter @Margaretchungcc Thanks for taking the time to visit while considering the new designs! Love to see the engagement from board members in such a big decision. Thank you 🙌

@kathtysse Love it! Little do they know those two are already married! (Or the same person.😉)

🚨Flagging for parents - upcoming vote for a calendar 🗓️change for THIS school year making Mon, May 2, a no school day for students and a holiday for staff instead of Tue, May 3.

[Trish Madden @TrishMadden7]

@AlexLea79 @SuptDuran @CDCgov Yes, for adults. According to their most recent chart, if Arlington is in low, than masks are not required.

@JPFinlayNBCS Because traffic on 95 isn’t bad enough on a Sunday as it is.

[Trish Madden @TrishMadden7]

@Rich_Hershman They are on the SB Board Docs website now.

[Trish Madden @TrishMadden7]

@APSReady @ArlParentsforEd Are boosters required for students to be considered “up to date”?
Does APS have a plan to end athletic testing? Fairfax, Loudon and Fall Church City do not tests vaccinated or unvaccinated athletes. They never required the testing of vaccinated athletes.

[Trish Madden @TrishMadden7]

@bluevirginia @News_MTorres Post likes these show that Dem leadership continues to be blind to the many Dem voting parents who want masks removed. These Dems will leave the party if leadership doesn’t stop being so one sided

[Trish Madden @TrishMadden7]

@APSVaSchoolBd Very good budget questions and follow up by @BarbaraKanninen, @MaryKaderaAPS and @ReidForSchools regarding the possible transition to an 80/20 immersion model. Thank you!

[Trish Madden @TrishMadden7]

@margaretbarthel @ArlParentsforEd Yes, APS needs to adopt CDC shortened isolation guidelines. Moving from 10 to 5 days is a meaningful difference for staffing and student achievement. After 3 weeks off, a 10 day quarantine is a huge setback for kids’ mental health and academic routine.

[Trish Madden @TrishMadden7]

@margaretbarthel The decision to pause all extracurriculars in APS while kids continue in all neighboring counties makes no sense. Our teams are now renting spaces in Fairfax & Springfield to practice and club teams are playing games. These kids go to school, but now without APS Covid testing.

[Trish Madden @TrishMadden7]

@APSVaSchoolBd @willmarlow Pre-Covid people could sign up in person the day of meetings. Would the school board consider going back to this when there are fewer than 30 speakers signed up? And/or lifting the cap? There didn’t used to be a limit.

[Trish Madden @TrishMadden7]

@APSVaSchoolBd @willmarlow I really appreciate the reply! I know for sure one student and one parent submitted by 4pm on Jan 4th and didn’t get slots. I’m waiting to hear from the other student. Maybe the power outages or some technical error occurred.
