The amount of misinformation being bandied about here is almost comical if not so hateful. For the record. I am the PTA President at VRES.
The comment attributed to me on the community feedback, is NOT mine. I don't live in VA Run -- more misinformation. I would be thrilled to have the Dulles Meadows community come to VRES. I have been sickened by the comments made by VRES parents during this boundary study and have spoken out about it in PTA meetings.
Yes, this was my first activity with a school board issue. I'm thinking everyone has had a first time to get involved, yes? I was asked by my principal to participate in the SW Planning Study, so I did. After spending 6 months looking closely at the issues regarding overcrowding in the region and the Clifton renovation issues, I developed my own opinions about how I thought the SB should act. So I spoke out. I wasn't promised anything for it. I'm not in Bradsher's district. While she and I spoke a couple of times about doing business, we have not discussed it in months and I'm not pursuing it now.
It is laughable that you think a position on the FPAC is a "power position." There are 13 of us and we have no decision-making authority, so I can't imagine to what "power" you're referring.
You'll have to forgive me for not responding to you sooner. I don't check these blogs every day and don't care to read all the misguided attacks. Please verify your information before accusing me of making "repugnant comments" while making your own vicious attacks.
