Four Days of In-Person Education? Not So Fast.

Four Days of In-Person Education? Not So Fast.

April 8, 2021 by admin in Education News

The media applauded Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) this week for announcing it will offer four days a week of in-person education to “some” students. Yet within hours of the announcement many schools were alerting families to the reality that the four-day option will be unavailable to most in-person students.

FCTA: McKay Misleads the Public on Taxes

April 2, 2021 by admin in News Taxes

On March 9, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, which is deciding on next year’s county budget, advertised a 4.25% real estate tax hike, which would cost the average homeowner $293. This continues a two-decade trend where the supervisors have increased real estate taxes three times faster than homeowner income, which has barely kept up with inflation

Five Days in the Fall? Maybe.

Five Days in the Fall? Maybe.

March 17, 2021 by admin in Education News

Yesterday’s meeting of the FCPS School Board acknowledged an on-paper goal of allowing students the choice to return to classrooms next school year for five days a week, with a teacher in each of those classrooms. This was followed by a list of caveats with which parents have become all too familiar. We call them “Lucy’s Football.” We look forward to running towards that football yet again over the next few months to see whether Lucy yanks it away.

LISTEN: Larry O’Connor Interviews Harry Jackson

Fairfax GOP Demands Open Schools, Parental Choice in K-12 Education

March 13, 2021 by admin in Education News

Citing the “systemic failure” of the status quo, Fairfax GOP Chairman Steve Knotts today demanded that county schools immediately reopen on a full-time, in-person schedule. “The results are in,” Knotts said. “We have seen troubling learning losses and severely detrimental effects on the mental health of students in Fairfax County. Our schools need to reopen — five days a week, for all students — without any further delay”

Secretary Qarni, FCPS and the Left’s War on Asians

February 21, 2021 by admin in Education News

For the Fairfax County School Board (FCSB), awash in federal impact funds, perhaps an emergency meeting is in order.

The members may wish to consider a brilliant piece by former Wall Street Journal reporter Asra Q. Nomani on October 31: The War on Asians, the Death of Meritocracy, and Assault on STEM. They should read particularly closely her section on the “National War on Asians”.

How Many More Weeks of Winter for FCPS Students?

How Many More Weeks of Winter for FCPS Students?

February 2, 2021 by admin in Education News

Approaching its ironically-timed Groundhog Day “Return to School Working Session,” FCPS released on Friday a presentation that reveals yet again that the principal factor in the inability to open schools is not about metrics, or community spread of a virus, but the chronic inability of FCPS to manage its staff, and the apparent unwillingness of many staff to return to work.
