The mission of Fairfax Zero Tolerance Reform is to transform the punitive Fairfax County Public School discipline system into one that is restorative, educational, therapeutic and fair, by working with affected families, FCPS, county staff, civil rights advocates, child development specialists, and legal representatives.
The following candidates have been endorsed by FairfaxZeroToleranceReform.org.
They have demonstrated a commitment to creating a reformed, restorative, and respectful discipline process in Fairfax. All the candidates have stated their desire for transparency, accountability, and respect for community engagement by groups such as ours. FZTR expects the future school board to provide significantly more robust oversight of FCPS staff. FZTR is a non-partisan organization and these candidates span the political spectrum. All these candidates (but Linton) are also formally endorsed by leading teachers associations. We want qualified, honorable candidates regardless of any party endorsements.
