Meet FCPS At-Large School Board Candidate: Ted Velkoff

Discipline reform has become a key issue in this school board race. See how the candidates stack up.

Ten candidates are vying for an at-large seat on the Fairfax County School Board. Patch has asked each of them a series of questions on discipline policy reform - a topic fast becoming a key issue in this crowded race. 1. Do you think the recent reforms passed by the school board changing the discipline policy were appropriate?

And with these three candidates, I think we’ve accomplished that. It was a messy way to do it, but we did it.” The committee endorses three at-…

Actually, Charisse came to the fewest meetings. For the few months before the election, Ted, Greg and I went to every meeting and only missed meetings when two were scheduled on the same night. Since you attended only your own district meetings, I don't know how you would be in the position to know which candidates showed up in the other eight districts. As you said, Charisse's endorsements were …   more ›
