The turnover on northern Virginia school boards continues, with this announcement by Arlington School Board Chair Reid Goldstein that he’s not running for reelection. Also see here for the major turnover we’re seeing on the Fairfax County School Board. The bottom line is that being a School Board member is rough these days, and certainly given what everyone went through the last few years with the COVID pandemic. Anyway, thanks to Reid Goldstein for his service!
CHAIR REID GOLDSTEIN ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE FROM ARLINGTON SCHOOL BOARD AFTER 8 YEARS
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Arlington Public Schools Chair Reid Goldstein released the following statement:
“After serving nearly eight years on the Arlington School Board, I have made the decision not to seek another term. I have always believed that building a healthy and desirable community is not a spectator sport and have been committed to public service in Arlington for almost 25 years. However, as this chapter of my life comes to a close, I am excited to explore new ways of serving the community.
I am deeply grateful to the Arlington community, students, teachers, support staff, administrators, parents, and colleagues who have made my time on the School Board so fulfilling. Together, we have made great progress and I am proud of what we have accomplished.
I will make a formal announcement about my decision not to run at the next meeting of the Arlington Democrats on March 1.”
