Fairfax parents upset over poor school board attendance at overcrowding meetings

Parents in Fairfax County are frustrated that school board members are showing up infrequently at community meetings about relieving school overcrowding.

“People want to be able to talk to the school board, have that give and take,” said Emily Slough, an Annandale High School parent and liaison to the board for the ad hoc Annandale Regional Planning Study committee. “I would like to see more school board members come to the ad hoc meetings to see what the community talks about.”
