ENDORSEMENT PROCESS
VOICES of Fairfax is an apolitical grassroots initiative by a diverse group of citizen volunteers concerned about the current direction of the Fairfax County School Board and Fairfax County Board of Supervisors regarding boundary changes.
VOICES of Fairfax will endorse candidates running for the Fairfax County School Board based on the following criteria:
1. Their response or lack of a response to our questionnaire
2. Their website and communications
2. Previous statements and actions while on the board (if they are currently a board member running for re-election)
Dranesville candidates and At Large candidates were given a questionnaire (view here). A general questionnaire, the same only missing two questions specific to Dranesville (view here) was sent to candidates running from other districts. All candidates are given at least 10 days to respond.
(Contact us if you have additional questions you'd like answered by any of the candidates in the future)
