Stori 4 Students

04/28/2025

In 2023, while running for Fairfax County School Board, I campaigned on getting back to basics—prioritizing student learning, especially reading. I called for changing how we teach reading in Fairfax County and investing more to help students excel. I pointed to the NAACP’s letter urging FCPS to focus on fundamentals, as too many kids are falling behind.

Meanwhile, opponents, backed by Democratic endorsements, focused on collective bargaining and blocking educational freedom. I highlighted success stories like Mississippi’s educational rebound this article is a recent article of even BETTER achievements in Mississippi- https://dailycaller.com/2025/04/25/mississippi-miracle-education-governor-tate-reeves-exclusive-interview/

In Fairfax County, our current School Board members prioritize politics—like conflating gun control with allowing sexually explicit materials in schools and libraries—over students. Others were sworn in on such books instead of traditional texts. And as of the past few weeks, our School Board Member, Kyle McDaniel, who is in charge of overseeing the budget faces fraud and embezzlement charges and decided to be a "no show" for court - https://www.fairfaxtimes.com/articles/mcdaniel-is-a-no-show-in-court-as-he-is-sued-for-embezzling-2-725/article_d409d0bd-6ff3-4b0d-a0a5-9889211733aa.html .

Elections have consequences—Virginia’s 2025 races for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and House of Delegates are critical for education reform. Fairfax County’s next local elections are in 2027, but we MUST stay vigilant, informed, and engaged now!

FLECAC Meeting Abruptly Canceled; Notice to the Public Withheld
By Mark Spooner | March 10, 2025 | 0

FCPS’s Family Life Education Curriculum Advisory Committee (FLECAC) was scheduled to meet this Wednesday evening, March 12, to discuss a controversial proposal to teach elementary-grade students about “gender identity” issues as early as the 3d or 5th grade. The committee’s January and February meetings had both been canceled due to snowy roads, so public attendance at this March meeting was expected to be particularly high. FCPS was aware that advocates and opponents of the gender identity proposal had both urged their supporters to attend the meeting.

As of Monday morning, the FCPS website indicated that Wednesday’s meeting was going forward as planned. But in the mid-afternoon, a Fairfax citizen asked Fairfax Schools Monitor whether it was being postponed yet again. We then learned that the website had been quietly updated sometime in the late morning or early afternoon to state that the next FLECAC meeting would now occur on March 19. No reason was given for the decision. Fairfax Schools Monitor then phoned the FLECAC chairperson to ask why, and was simply told the meeting was being rescheduled for “personal reasons.”

Given that there is no apparent need, such as bad weather, to expect a last-minute postponement, few citizens are likely to recheck the FCPS website to see that the next meeting date is now listed as March 19. Many will travel to FCPS headquarters on Wednesday evening only to find the doors locked and no one present to conduct a meeting.

And here’s what makes the decision outrageous: We have learned that FCPS decided last Thursday to reschedule the meeting but waited until today to quietly change the website notice. The transgender advocates on FLECAC have known for several days, but the general public has been deliberately kept in the dark.

FLECAC has grown accustomed to doing its business out of the limelight, and many on the committee undoubtedly resent the scrutiny its work is receiving this year. But the citizens of Fairfax County should expect more transparency from FCPS. Distrust and suspicions about ulterior motives are understandably fostered when the public is treated shabbily like this.

Elections have consequences, and it’s frustrating to see how some "entities" consistently fail to prioritize students. Instead, they seem to operate as self-serving organizations—more focused on self-preservation and profit than on fostering real educational growth. The Virginia Education Association Union exemplifies this disappointing trend. Our children suffer while the VEA's pockets get bigger!

"Seventy-three years ago, the world changed because a 16-year-old high school student shined a light on inequity. Exposing the inequities of today will take a bigger and brighter light, but the alternative is to remain in the dark."

More than 70 years ago, black and white students in Virginia received separate and very unequal educations.

Does it surprise you that the FCPS School Board and administrators at Gatehouse are continuing to try and keep this case from seeing the light of day??? This is a great ruling protecting free speech and individual rights!
