ATTENTION: Any parent who wants their kids to be judged fairly in school needs to disenroll from @fcpsnews now. Immediately.

Nevermind the Strategic Plan, FCPS wants Equal Outcomes.
At its 6/29 mtg, the SB will vote on an equity plan that commits FCPS to going beyond equal opportunity to address "disproportionate outcomes," the euphemism that has been decided on to replace equal outcomes.

Equity DESTROYS equal opportunity! Equity sets all students behind! Equity inherently is RACIST. Stand together, parents! Speak up NOW and most importantly, vote in November for incredible SB candidates who are standing to resist this nonsense!

“Union leaders and the CDC have been pressed about the extent of [their] collaboration, while texts, obtained by Fairfax County Parents Association, show the parties had a friendly relationship prior to the CDC releasing instructions for school reopening” dailycaller.com/2023/06/02/t…

During the tenure of @RachnaFCPSSB - Hispanic students have suffered a significant math and reading loss. She has not supported the setting up of after school STEM programs at @FCPS_TitleI schools. Hispanics for STEM opposes her bid for a seat with @fcpsnews board.

Lol! Collective bargaining ❌ does not = better schools.
Run. Run away from FCPS it’s in a terminal decline thanks to SB members like Rachna.

To all my teacher colleagues across this nation, in 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that the school district you work for cannot force you to join any teacher's union. If you join, 94% of the dues that you pay, go towards corrupt politicians, who harm kids. fairfaxtimes.com/articles/op…

#FCPS just sent out preliminary results of the annual Employee Engagement Survey.
Long story short, "Division Leadership" is deeply unpopular.

The VA Senate is considering a bill (which passed in the House) to force school districts sitting on unused relief funds to use that $ to address achievement gaps & proficiency declines.
FCPS is the worst offender, sitting on $170 million in unused $. virginiamercury.com/2023/02/…

New: A Fairfax County high school failed to tell a parent of their student's National Merit recognition two years ago, but FCPS told the press and the community in December that the delay in notifications happened in the Fall of 2022 only. wjla.com/news/crisis-in-the-…

One piece of really good news from this meeting: @FCPSSupt, listening to advocacy from our group & other parents, commits to increasing the number of in-person tutors available, especially at elementary schools as part of after-school enrichment.

🧵Parents who spent $$ during the pandemic to educate your child with special needs when FCPS refused to do so: FCPS held a meeting last night to discuss its legal obligation to provide compensatory services. We had parents there taking notes and wanted to share the following:

Here is my original @CityJournal article on the war on merit translated into Chinese by our parents in the Chinese American Parents Association of Northern Virginia. Please share far and wide.

In emails obtained by 7News @NickMinock, principals at two Fairfax County high schools acknowledged students were not notified by the school district that they received National Merit recognition.

@DoBetterFCPS nothing like an 8:30 pm email on a Saturday from our kid’s FCPS high school. About not telling Nat Merit Scholarship commended students.
Glad they are correcting..but not a good look. That heat was coming…

Punishing success in order to achieve “equal outcomes” is not a winning strategy. It deliberately hurts children and hinders academic excellence.
🔥 WATCH. @FCPSNews contractor told Princeton Public Schools to be "purposefully unequal" to get "equal outcomes." Indeed, 2020 email obtained @FairfaxTimes reveals "pattern and practice" of hiding National Merit awards under @TJHSST_Official @TJAnnB. 🧵will blow your mind.

1 in 4 schools were victimized by cyber attacks last year according to a new survey.
Schools continue a trend towards increased use of digital tools yet many schools lack adequate cyber security training for teachers. finance.yahoo.com/news/surve…
