Karen Keys-Gamarra for Fairax County School Board (At-Large)

I strongly endorse current school board member at-large Karen-Keys Gamarra. Fairfax county needs someone who will faithfully implement the One Fairfax policy on inclusion and equity. This matter is important especially in basic education. Karen Keys-Gamarra is committed to providing the best learning opportunities not just for a chosen group but for all students enrolled in Fairfax County public schools. I first met Karen Keys-Gamarra in person during a school board meeting back in December. It was in that meeting that Karen Keys‐Gamarra requested the Board to consider a work session to discuss "inequities of opportunity and access for historically underrepresented populations to Advanced Academic Programs". In addition, Karen has always fought for maintaining Title I funding for high poverty schools in the county. From promoting restorative efforts and reducing disciplinary or punitive measures to protecting the rights of special education students, Karen has always championed the same ideals necessary for achieving equity in our schools. For One Fairfax policy to be a reality and not just an empty slogan, Karen Keys-Gamarra needs to be nominated once more by Democratic members of Fairfax county. Let us work so that she gets reelected in November.
