Candidates running for the Fairfax County School Board
ENDORSEMENT PROCESS
VOICES of Fairfax is a nonpartisan grassroots initiative by a diverse group of citizen volunteers concerned about the current direction of the Fairfax County School Board 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, public comments, and debate statements
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.
Listed in order of district/seat alphabetically, then alphabetically by first name:
