Babur Lateef used the School Board Chairman candidate forum to name drop

By Uriah Kiser

Lateef, the Prince William County School Board Chairman, At-large was not shy of saying the names of fellow Democrats also running for the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, the taxing authority that provides funding for the schools. He’s led the School Board overseeing Virginia’s second-largest school system in Prince William County for the past 16 months.

“We need more funding from the Board of County Supervisors and we’re not getting it due to Jeanine Lawson (sitting Brentsville District rep) and Ruth Anderson (sitting Occoquan District rep) who are not committed to our classrooms,” he said at Wednesday night’s Prince William Committee of 100 / League of Women Voters voter forum in Manassas.

By Susie Webb

After a six-hour marathon meeting, the Stafford County School Board passed employee and student non-discrimination policies one year after a transgender student was barred from using a bathroom facility.

Questions remain, however, as to how these policies will be implemented, as they do not specifically address transgender bathroom usage.
