There’s not a lot of love lost between the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and the county school board based solely on perennial budget disputes. But on Tuesday, the battle turned personal: Supervisor Cathy Hudgins, D-Hunter Mill, questioned the school system’s ability to discipline its students.

Speaking about a Fairfax high school student who recently took his own life, Hudgins noted that the student had been going through the schools’ “zero-tolerance” disciplinary procedures.
