In the wake of the coronavirus, "FairFACTs" was formed because Abrar Omeish saw a need to share valuable information to her community in an equitable way. Join us for weekly livestreams for health updates, school system information, community concerns, special guests, and open questions with Fairfax County School Board Member At-Large Abrar Omeish and Student Representative Nathan Onibudo. Streams can be watched live Mondays at 7PM at facebook.com/AbrarforSchoolBoard/.
What worries teachers the most about the distance learning plan? How did teachers feel about the previous hybrid model? How has the pandemic affected FCPS employees? Abrar and Nathan will welcome the presidents of our three employee organizations (Association of Fairfax Professional Educators, Fairfax Education Associations, and the Fairfax County Federation of Teachers) for a robust conversation.
