Our school system is in serious decay. It is failing miserably in fulfilling their primary responsibility to educate our children. Their focus is on social engineering and not on our children’s academic success. Their reckless spending contributes to our real estate taxes going through the roof year after year. They are moving in on the family’s responsibility for moral education by driving a wedge between children and parents. Volunteer Donate Now

Vinson’s Priorities At Fairfax County School Board?

Empower/Trust Teachers for Classroom Discipline, Reduce Administrivia Compensating the teachers above the other local jurisdictions is important but that alone won’t help. System’s refusal to pay deferentially contributes to middle school gym teacher having same pay as high school physics teacher. Increase STEM Preparedness and US History Education STEM related jobs are the jobs of the new economy and the number of STEM jobs going unfilled are exploding due to lack of qualified STEM graduates. We are increasingly dependent on foreign talent to fulfill this void. Address Minority Achievement Gap with a Sense of Urgency Despite all the efforts and money spent by FCPS for decades, schools serving the most vulnerable sections of the society are severely under performing in producing acceptable results. It is time to think out of the box. Safeguard Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) (aka GT Programs) Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) / Gifted & Talented (GT) programs exist for a reason. They support gifted children’s needs by supporting high quality gifted and advanced education in FCPS. Sex/Gender Education for Protection/Prevention NOT Indoctrination In addition to the explicit material that is already being taught to children as young as 4th grade, gender fluidity based not on science but on extraneous ideology was added to FCPS Family Life Education (FLE) (Sex Ed) curriculum starting from 7th grade. Total Transparency with Parents About Their Children’s School Lives With text books gone and opportunity for participation only online, parents especially from the vulnerable sections of the society are effectively excluded from their children’s school lives. Students are given counseling involving sexual matters without parent’s consent or involvement. Upgrade School Security & Mental Health Support Systems While FCPS has elaborate Security and Safety standards and procedures in place, there is minimal emphasize on ensuring armed security in all schools starting from K to 12. When it comes to lives of our children, we can’t take any chance at all. Control FCPS Budget & Fairfax County Real Estate Taxes FCPS with a budget over 3 billion, which is about 53% of entire Fairfax County expenditure is a mammoth government entity producing mediocre to poor results. After decades of empty rhetoric of equity and diversity, our School Board has failed miserably
