I see ACPS decided ARHA was getting too much attention and had to have a scandal of its own to get back in the news.

Performance of ACPS affects every member of this community - ACPS consumes the largest share of the City budget. Renters and owners pay for this through rents or direct real estate taxes. The continued lack of accountability for performance and fiscal management of City resources is unacceptable.

As a taxpayer and parent, I’m angry that our community is struggling. Our families are barely making ends meet, and we continue to see poor leadership and waste from ACPS central office leadership that is unresponsive and unaccountable to the kids and parents and teachers and staff.

ACPS School Board could allow kids in the City of Alexandria to attend TJ if they so chose. Another disappointment that as VA taxpayers, our kids cannot apply to attend a nearby Virginia Governor’s School.

I don’t agree with that conclusion but i think the thread raises important issues. I see a lot of this play out and think a lot about how to reduce/eliminate these barriers and disparities. One thing ACPS actually is great (a leader) on is BITS. We need more of that.

Someone has pointed out that 1. he’s no longer mayor and 2. school construction is overseen by ACPS. But let’s not let that get in the way of laying blame where they want to to be.

reminder that public comment signup for Thurday’s ACPS Board meeting opens at 8:30am tomorrow through a form on the Board’s website, if you would like to speak in support of Allison Spillman as she handles the disingenuous right wing campaign against her
yeah the repeatedly failed state legislature candidate who moved here in 2020, the right wing radio host who faildoxes people under a pseudonym, and the candidate Allison trounced for her spot on the Board are all trying to make this a thing. really think it’s important to nip this in the bud.
want to boost this. guarantee TPUSA is going to try and stack it, but they simply do not have the local numbers to do so *if* we recognize it’s coming and respond in kind. I think it’s critical to set a tone that we will back our local officials against disingenuous right wing bullshit.

Theogony: ACPS Sues DOE Over Title IX Ruling
We tried to do smth different at MVCS (nature-based play, native plants, etc). I learned in project managing it (PTA/ACPS partnership vs typical ACPS-led project) that anything outside the usual is hella $$$ and needs someone committed to closely maintaining it. Sadly, boring is cheaper and easier.

Update: supposedly there is finally toner at least for now, and also that it’s an issue at *multiple* schools. ACPS leadership needs to resolve this in a lasting way and the school board should stay on top of them about it.
For further context, we’re hearing from PHK8 parents that there’s no toner at the school and only one functioning copier so students aren’t getting homework because they can’t print or copy.Where is CO and the school board when a school’s got no toner in the first month of school?
Hey ACPS parents, how many functioning copiers does you kid’s elementary school have?
West End parents are trying to figure out something.
