What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The greatest challenge is to recognize the changing demographics in Fairfax County and adjust the instruction to ensure that all children have a solid foundation of basic skills in reading, writing and mathematics prior to being moved through the system and to accomplish this while addressing the academic needs across the spectrum of academic capabilities."
