Spending Falls in Board Races; Assembly Seats Draw Million Dollar Battles NORMAN K. STYER

nstyer@loudounnow.com

It seems like the cost of everything is going up these days, but most candidates running for seats on the county Board of Supervisors are enjoying somewhat of a bargain year.

In 2019, candidates in those nine districts spent more than $3.5 million in their election bids. This year, candidates have raised less than half that amount, according to the most recent campaign financial disclosure filings, which cover fundraising and spending through Oct. 26.

The race for the county chair at large seat is seeing the greatest change, with two-term incumbent Phyllis Randall (D) and her two challengers raising a total of $272,500. In the 2019 campaign, Randall and two other candidates in that race spent a total of $1.6 million—the most ever in that countywide race. The 2023 race is on pace to be the lowest-cost contest since 1999, when three candidates spent a total of $237,280.

Board Briefed on Challenges of Tutoring Campaign

BY ALEXIS GUSTIN

agustin@loudounnow.com

A lot of questions remained unanswered after an Oct. 24 School Board briefing on how the division plans to spend over $13 million allocated by the state government as part of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s ALL in Virginia plan to address COVID-19 learning loss and absenteeism in schools.

Most of the questions centered around tutoring, including how many hours per student under changing guidelines over the past few weeks , how tutoring would be administered, and how the division would hire up to 2,000 tutors the same time the commonwealth’s other 132 school divisions are doing the same thing.

Chief Academic Officer Ashley Ellis said tutoring will be the most complex issue to address as administrators work to finalize a plan.

She said new information about the

governor’s plan comes out weekly and said that divisions across the state are working to get plans to combat learning loss in students in grades third through eighth submitted and approved by the Virginia Department of Education by next month.

Loudoun schools were given $13.64 million to create a plan to bring up academic levels and combat chronic absenteeism. Of that amount, 70%, or about $9.6 million, is to be used for high dosage tutoring, 20%, or $2.73 million, is to be used to help with literacy, and 10%, or $1.36 million, is to be used to fight chronic absenteeism.

The VDOE has defined three proficiency levels—high, low and not proficient— to determine eligibility for tutoring for students in third through eighth grade.

According to the data, 53% of Loudoun’s public school students in those grades are considered low or not proficient in reading and 57% are considered low or not proficient in math. Statewide, 62% of stu-

dents are considered low or not proficient in reading and 66% are low or not proficient in math.

Ellis said that 19,673 Loudoun students would qualify for high dosage tutoring in math and reading. She noted that 31% of division students who passed their reading Standards of Learning tests and 26% of students who passed their math SOL tests were considered low or not proficient, according to the data.

Ellis said the division created a special work group that includes school principals to figure out the best way to approach tutoring. She said the guidance from VDOE had changed in a matter of weeks from what seemed like mandates to enact the program to recommendations for divisions to do the best they can to provide tutoring services.

The VDOE’s playbook required 36 weeks of tutoring—the equivalent of an entire school year— at three to five hours a week for both math and reading and

possibly double that for students who needed more help.

“We are in a different place in thinking and planning than we were when we first received the information on Sept. 14,” Ellis said, adding that the question-and-answer page on the VDOE’s website is updated weekly.

She said initial guidance in the playbook required highly trained tutors but that has shifted over the past few weeks.

She said, using the strict guidelines in the playbook, the division would need to hire about 2,000 tutors to meet the needs of every student.

Ellis highlighted the division’s Multitiered System of Supports that has been used for years that will help them identify which students need intervention and provide guidance on intervention plans.

Secretary Albright’s Hillsboro Farm Enters the Market

BY HANNA PAMPALONI

hpampaloni@loudounnow.com

The 361-acre Hillsboro farm that served as a welcome retreat for former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and her family was listed on the market last week for $10.5 million.

The farm contains the original stone house built in 1792 with renovations completed throughout the years to total six bedrooms, four bathrooms and five fireplaces. Situated in the Neersville valley between the Blue Ridge and Short Hill mountains, Albright, who died last year at age 84, frequented the farm almost every weekend as she sought rest from Georgetown and to relax in a greener, wide-open space.

The property also includes two auxiliary homes, each with three bedrooms, two spring-fed ponds, a barn, and multiple sheds.

Real estate agent Dennis Virts, who is managing the sale of the property, said the land is already subdivided into 16 parcels with the lot containing the main home situated on approximately 46 acres. He is hoping to find a buyer willing to purchase the entire acreage to preserve its history and open spaces.

ON THE Agenda

Supervisors Complete Review of Zoning Ordinance NORMAN K. STYER nstyer@loudounnow.com

The Board of Supervisors on Monday night wrapped up its review of the draft Zoning Ordinance, setting the stage for a final vote before the end of the year.

Since holding a public hearing on the Planning Commission’s 635-page proposed ordinance July 26, supervisors held nine work sessions totaling more than 40 hours to wade through the document.

To meet their goal of adopting the new ordinance before the end of their term Dec. 31, supervisors established six special interest stakeholder groups to give representatives of business organizations, developers, environmental groups, and preservation advocates a seat at the table as the final regulations were negotiated.

Supervisors said the approach resulted in a more collaborative process as they worked through the final points of contention remaining from the three-year effort to write a new county-wide zoning

code for the first time since 1993.

Through meetings, email exchanges, and work with county staff members, proposed changes were brought to the board in a series of draft motions during their public work sessions. The final meeting included votes on more than 30 proposed ordinance changes. After completing the mark-up sessions, the staff will next assemble the final package to present at a Dec. 13 public hearing.

Among the key features of the proposed ordinance is a chapter dedicated to the regulation of attainable housing, now expanded into three categories: the Affordable Dwelling Unit program, an Unmet Housing Needs Unit program, and an Affordable Housing Unit program.

Supervisors also focused on data center development rules, voting to implement additional architectural standards and to require special exception review for new data centers in office parks. The board left rural zoning rules largely untouched, opting to plan to undertake a special rural

zoning study next year.

County Chair Phyllis Randall (D-At Large) thanked a list of individual staff members and the community and industry stakeholder representatives for their work.

“Thank you to everybody who has been so, so deeply involved,” she said.

And she thanked her board colleagues, with Supervisor Michael Turner (D-Ashburn), chair of the board’s Transportation, Land Use and Government Services Committee, singled out for his “rock star” work in helping to lead the review process.

“We said we were going to get here, and we worked really, really hard to get here, with lots of meetings and lots of days,” she said. “This is amazing. I’m so proud of all of us.”

Randall compared the moment to the elation that comes at the end of a Super Bowl victory. “Loudoun County, you just finished the Zoning Ordinance, now what is going to happen? We should all be like, ‘we’re going to Disney World.’” n

County Leaders Seek Input from Youth, Parents The Loudoun County Advisory Commission on Youth is conducting a survey to gather information that will help inform county leaders when making decisions about services and programs designed to meet the needs of young people.

The survey is intended for parents of elementary, middle and high-school-aged students, and youth in middle and high school and covers four topic areas: Activities and interests, drug and alcohol use, mental health and stress management, and online access and activity.

Responses are anonymous. The survey is open through Dec. 5.

Members of the county’s judicial system, Board of Supervisors, Leesburg elected officials and town and county staff gathered Oct. 25 to cut the ribbon at the county’s new General District Courthouse.

New Courthouse Opens for Cases in Downtown Leesburg

BY HANNA PAMPALONI hpampaloni@loudounnow.com

The new Loudoun County District Court building opened this week in downtown Leesburg, marking the end of a four-year, $100 million construction project that also included a new parking garage.

Members of the county’s judicial system and the public gathered on the steps of the new courthouse Oct. 25 to celebrate its opening.

The 92,000-square-foot building will serve as the General District Court and provide office space for the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and the Loudoun County Department of Community Corrections. The existing courthouse will continue to serve the Circuit Court, Juvenile Domestic Relations District Court, Office of the Clerk of Circuit Court and the Juvenile Court Service Unit.

Hanna Pampaloni/Loudoun Now

Chief General District Court Judge Deborah C. Welsh speaks at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the county’s new General District Courthouse on Oct. 25.

“This courthouse will serve the judicial system of Loudoun County for genera-

tions,” Chief General District Court Judge Deborah C. Welsh said. “We, the judges of the Loudoun County General District Court, look forward to serving the citizens of Loudoun County and all those who enter these doors.”

“When you talk about the administration of justice, it has to be tangible,” Chief Judge of the Circuit Court Douglas L. Fleming said. “It can’t just be words. …

Today, we celebrate that Loudoun County is demonstrating its continued commitment to the real, tangible administration of justice.”

Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj said that the courthouse was a “symbol of justice” and stands as a testament to the county’s “commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice for all.”

Sheriff Michael Chapman said the new building had upgraded security systems including integrated ballistic protection, a state-of-the-art camera system, explosive

detonation shielding and an upgraded X-ray system for examining deliveries to the building.

County Chair Phyllis Randall (D-At Large) said a courthouse is not just a place where only hard things happen.

“That eight-year-old who never thought he was going to get adopted gets his full-time permanent family at a courthouse. All those couples who are going to say, ‘we’re going to have a big wedding one day but right now we’re just going to go get married’—that happens at a courthouse,” she said. “… A courthouse is often the middle of your community. It is the pinnacle of your community.”

The public was allowed to enter the building and see the reception area as well as tour the ceremonial courtroom.

The final phase of the planned courts complex expansion includes the $28 million renovation of the existing courthouse and of the Valley Bank buildings. Design work for this phase is ongoing. n

Town Bids Farewell to Döner Bistro

BY HANNA PAMPALONI

hpampaloni@loudounnow.com

A long-time local family have closed their Leesburg restaurant, which has been a staple in the community for almost two decades.

Döner Bistro closed its doors Sunday after a farewell party and one last “prost.”

Owner Timo Winkel said with the plans to redevelop the Virginia Village shopping center, beginning with the strip of buildings that houses his and his wife Nicole’s restaurant, it seemed like the perfect chance to get some much-needed rest.

“We will use this as an opportunity to take a break. We did this now for 18 years and we knew that this would come,” he

said.

Winkel said when the restaurant moved from Harrison Street into its current location, they knew that they would only be there for a few years. But, he said, the hardship brought on by COVID meant that his family was even more ready for some rest.

“These two years of the pandemic, I feel like it took 10 out of me,” he said.

During their break, the Winkel family plans to take a boat they purchased in 2020 to visit Florida and the Caribbean islands.

“That will take as long as it takes and then we’ll go from there,” he said, adding that Döner Bistro could return in the future, but for now he is focused on getting

some sun.

Looking back over the past two decades, Winkel said some of his fondest memories were of the Oktoberfest celebrations.

“We just had our busiest Oktoberfest in 18 years. It was like three days of craziness,” he said.

He said many of his customers, especially the regular visitors, had become friends over the years.

“We always had supporters, even through the pandemic,” Winkel said. “Our regular customers helped us through that really hard time.”

“We started in Leesburg in 2006 with the first food truck in Leesburg and I think also in Loudoun County. That was way before any food truck craze came,” Winkel said.

“Brian Ours, the previous owner of the shopping center, and Brian Cullen, the now owner of the shopping center, both approached us to see if we would be interested to come into the shopping center,” Winkel said. “He wanted us to bring some life to the place, and that’s what we did.”

Winkel said he is appreciative of the help his business has received over the years from Mayor Kelly Burk and the Loudoun County Economic Development Committee. “[Leesburg] is a great place to open up a restaurant,” he said.

The restaurant will also be having a going away sale from noon to 6 p.m. Nov. 4 and 5 to sell off the remainder of its memorabilia, equipment, and decorations. n

Ombuds Reports Communication Breakdowns, Retaliation Fears

BY ALEXIS GUSTIN

agustin@loudounnow.com

Loudoun County Public School’s ombudsman said three “overarching themes” emerged from the 207 cases she handled during her inaugural year: communication breakdowns, the fear of retaliation from parents and staff and families wanting a partnership with educators.

Carey Williams presented the annual report Oct. 24 to update the School Board on the work her office has done since it was established Aug. 23, 2022.

The data was comWilliams

piled to give the board a better idea of who reached out to the office and the reasons without losing the confidentiality of the office.

The Office of the Ombuds is the designated neutral office within the division to help resolve conflicts and concerns about fairness, equity and consistency among students, families, employees and community members.

Based on her contacts over the past year, she highlighted three themes, the first being communication breakdowns.

She said often when constituents reached out to her office it was because they didn’t feel heard by those closest to the situation. They contacted the ombuds to share their concerns and discuss their options.

“Whether their requests for a meeting were not fulfilled, they did not receive a prompt response to repeated inquiries, or the outcome of previous meetings or correspondence wasn’t satisfactory, they contacted the ombuds to share their concerns,” she said.

The second was that both families and employees have a perception of potential retaliation.

“With many constituents, there is a real perception of potential retaliation for articulating their concern to leadership.

They worry about how pursuing resolution might impact their work environment or their child’s school experience” OMBUDS REPORT continues on page 13

Board Requests $6.6M More in County Funding

BY ALEXIS GUSTIN

agustin@loudounnow.com

The School Board voted to request $6.6 million in additional funding from the county government’s fiscal year 2023 budget surplus to be used for six projects at their meeting Oct. 24.

The one-time supplemental funding request, which is about $1 million more than the original plan presented two weeks ago, will fund some projects that were taken out of the draft FY2024 budget and relieve pressure as the division develops the FY2025 budget, according to the staff presentation. Under the county’s fiscal policies, the budget’s fund balance can only be used for one-time, non-recurring expenses.

The projects include wireless upgrades at several elementary schools ($2 million), career and technical education textbooks that will complete textbook adoption for several courses and pathways that began in FY2023 ($1 million), audio enhancements in two classrooms at Tuscarora High School, two classrooms at Smarts Mill Middle School and two classrooms at Frances Hazel Reid Elementary School

for students with hearing impairments ($1 million). The three schools are part of a pilot program to determine if the same technology should be used in other division schools.

The final three projects include $300,000 for exterior door security repairs, $800,000 to upgrade security cameras on 300 buses to enable live feed viewing, and $1.5 million to hire a consultant to help the division transition to a new enterprise resource planning system. The ERP provides business software used in the day-to-day operations of schools and offices. The division currently uses the Oracle E-Business Suite for its financial needs, like payroll.

Chief Financial Officer Sharon Willoughby said the county government launched a multiyear process to move to another ERP and to separate its operations from the school system. She said the county has agreed to continue to support the division’s current ERP system until it chooses a replacement. She noted that the cost in the fund balance request was for a one-time use to hire a consultant to make that transition, but because it’s a multiyear project the transition also will be included in this year’s Capital Improvement

Program as well as in the FY2025 budget.

The division staff removed a request for $500,000 for electronic timecards for hourly employees.

The motion to request the additional funding passed unanimously, with Denise Corbo (At Large) and Brenda Sheridan (Sterling) absent.

As of Oct. 24, it was unknown what the available fund balance would be.

Also at that meeting, during discussion of the projects, the board learned that the full Board of Supervisors approved a $7.94 million appropriation to fund other division improvements, including $4.39 million for the weight room expansion, press boxes and tennis court lighting at Dominion High School, and press boxes and tennis court lighting at Potomac Falls High School, and $3.55 million for the weight room expansion, press boxes and tennis court lighting at Heritage High School. The projects were cut from the school division’s capital improvements plan last spring to free up funding for the Park View High School replacement project and the Banneker and Waterford elementary school renovations, according to the presentation. n

Enrollment Decline, Staff Vacancies Hit Schools’ Budget

BY ALEXIS GUSTIN agustin@loudounnow.com

Higher than normal staff vacancy rates and lower than expected operation and maintenance costs resulted in a $42 million surplus in Loudoun County Public Schools’ fiscal year 2024 first quarter financial report. Meanwhile, having 900 fewer students on the rolls this year is leaving the division about $4 million short in state funding.

Fewer enrolled students are also impacting the school nutrition fund, according to Chief Financial Officer Sharon Willoughby, who told the School Board on Oct. 24 they are expecting a significant shortfall this year.

“Not having 900 additional students purchasing meals is having an impact on our revenue streams as well as we are also seeing lower a la carte sales,” she said.

Last year the division was down

800 students.

Cafeteria sales are the main revenue source for the school Nutrition Fund.

The budget projects sales of $21.1 million this year, an increase of $3.1 million from last year. However, despite this, early projections indicate an $8.9 million shortfall.

In the school operating fund, higher than normal staff vacancy rates are leading to a $32.6 million surplus. However, those same vacancies are impacting the division’s self-funded health insurance program in a negative way because fewer employees are paying into it.

Willoughby projected a $12.3 million shortfall in health insurance funds as a result.

She said the division isn’t experiencing a lot of claims but said new employees typically generate more revenue than claims and that a shortage of new hires is impacting the fund.

She said the fund balance projection

for the end of the first quarter puts the self insurance fund at $26.1 million, which is 10.4% of the division’s expenditure. She said the goal is to have 17%. She said when she presented the FY2025 preliminary fall forecast, she recommended an 8% increase to premiums at that time because the staff was seeing the trend.

Other self insurance funds include workers’ compensation, which she said expenses are projected to be under budget, and the Virginia Local Disability Plan, a short term disability for employees, is expected to go over budget.

Willoughby said administrators would continue to watch the funds closely especially as they prepare the FY2025 budget.

Additionally, a $9.4 million surplus is being projected in the operations and maintenance account as the cost of materials came in below projections.

The ending fund balance for the school operating fund is projected to be

$26.1 million, after $12 million is earmarked to carry over into the FY2025 budget.

Willoughby said projections are conservative and will become more refined as the year progresses. She added that the recent action by the School Board to increase the state revenue and personnel budgets by $12 million will be reflected in the second quarter financial report.

Total revenue for the operating fund is projected to be $1.7 billion—6.9% higher than last year.

The first quarter financial report captures activity from July 1 through Sept.

30 and provides a projection for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Willoughby also updated the board on COVID-19 funds, noting that the division has completed 21 contract awards totaling about $67 million and has four active awards. That remaining $19 million is expected to be spent by the end of next year. n

Ombuds report continued from page 10 she said.

She said those who have reached out have voiced appreciation for the ombuds’ role in providing them with an impartial and confidential space to share concerns.

The third observation centered around families wanting to be partners in their child’s education. She said parents frequently voiced concerns that their school and or central office officials were not treating them as partners.

“While they understand that educators and leaders have expertise in the field of education, families feel that they are the experts regarding their child,” she said, adding that they would like a greater emphasis placed on their input “as part of their child’s educational team.”

School Board Vice Chair Harris Mahedavi (Ashburn) asked Williams what the next steps are in regard to the three observations.

She said when she notices trends, she brings those to the attention of the division’s administrative cabinet and senior leadership and said they are having conversations around those trends now, including getting her recommendations on how to improve practices.

“Really, my role is to shed light on these topics and then to expand upon those conversations,” she said.

Of the 207 contacts this past year, 101 were from parents or families, 100 were from employees, five were from other community members, and one was from a student, according to the presentation.

The primary concerns from the non-employee cases were safety and environment (19), special education (18), discrimination/harassment (14), behav-

ior and discipline (9), and school start times (7).

She said 189 cases were tied to a specific school level, including 82 at the elementary school level, 46 from middle school and 61 from high school.

Of the 100 employee contacts, the biggest concerns were peer and colleague relationships (20), compensation and benefits (18), evaluative relationships (16), and services or administrative issues (16).

In 85 cases, Williams provided information or referred the contact to another office. In 59 cases, she listened to the concerns and discussed options with the contact, and in 24 cases she brought the concern to another staff member, either with permission from the contact or with anonymity.

Williams said the average time to close a case was about one to five days depending on the complexity and the need for follow-up. She closed out 141 cases in one to two days, and closed out 32 in three to five days, according to the presentation.

She said she would continue to reach out and promote the availability and purpose of the office—to be a confidential, independent, and impartial resource for students, families, employees, and community members so more constituents know what is available to them.

She noted that contacts have increased exponentially since a year ago, saying at this time last year she had about 16 cases whereas this year she has 85.

Williams said she doesn’t keep files or records of interactions to help keep them confidential and would meet anyone anywhere if they are not comfortable coming to her office in the administration building.

She can be reached at ombuds@lcps.org or 571-252-2447. n

Four Sterling Schools to Get Boost in Facilities from Proffer Funds

BY ALEXIS GUSTIN agustin@loudounnow.com

Four Sterling area schools will be getting extra help for improvements to their campuses thanks to over $1.7 million in proffer funds from the Sterling Meadows developer.

Countryside and Sugarland Elementary Schools, River Bend Middle School and Potomac Falls High School will receive varying amounts from the developer to be used to “improve outdoor recreation facilities,” or to “improve facilities” in general according to a School Board agenda item Oct. 24.

Chief Operations Officer Kevin Lewis said that the developer specifically identified requirements for how it wanted the proffer funds to be used and then division staff reached out to the principals of each school to determine which projects met the requirements. Lewis said the amount of money for each school was also predetermined by the proffer as well.

Some of the projects were identified in the FY2024-FY2029 Capital Budgets document adopted by the School Board while others were suggestions from the principals.

Norman K. Styer/Loudoun Now

Potomac Falls High School and three other Sterling schools will get a funding boost for several projects thanks to proffers from developer Sterling Meadows.

Chair Ian Serotkin (Blue Ridge) asked if the division had been consulted by the developer about which projects needed to be done at each of the schools.

“During the application process with the Board of Supervisors, the developer will propose proffers and in many cases, they identify them themselves. We believe in most of these cases they were going through our CIP [Capital Improvement Program] and looking for things that were showing up in the CAPP [Capital Facility Renewals and Alterations] or other things and that is where they identified them,” Lewis said.

According to Lewis the division has

already received the money after the Board of Supervisors directed the developer to pay the division directly.

Countryside is expected to get $279,000 to go toward a walking track and additions to its playground and to add “play structure” equipment to the kindergarten play area.

Sugarland Elementary is expected to get $111,800 for an exterior digital marquee sign, LED hallway lighting and murals around the school.

River Bend Middle School will get $223,600 for badly needed storage for its drama program as well as to go toward the construction of a pavilion on campus.

And Potomac Falls High School is slated to get $1.12 million for projects to “improve and augment recreation facilities.”

Some of the projects under consideration include new scoreboards for the stadium, baseball/softball fields and a main gymnasium, stadium enhancements (including winterizing the outdoor concession and restroom building), batting cage improvements, athletic equipment storage and additional bike racks.

In 2020, the Sterling Meadow developer gave money to Countryside Elementary School which was applied to a then-active CAPP resurfacing project for the kindergarten play area and to Potomac Falls High School which was used for the school’s weight room expansion project that was in the CIP, according to the presentation.

The additional $1.72 million was given to the division July 13, 2023 after it was approved by the Board of Supervisors.

Since the proffer funding isn’t already included in the FY2024 CIP budget, the School Board has to approve an increase to it as a formality to be able to use the money and then distribute it to the four schools.

The board voted to place the item on its administrative consent agenda Nov. 14. n

Committee Recommends Ending Middleburg Community Charter School Probation

BY ALEXIS GUSTIN agustin@loudounnow.com

A School Board committee on Oct. 26 recommended that Middleburg Community Charter School be removed from the probationary status that was imposed six months ago after continued discrepancies in financial reporting.

During last week’s meeting of the Specialized Programs & Centers Committee, division staff members presented the most

recent findings from an external financial audit performed June 30, 2023, by Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates.

The audit identified two opportunities for the school to improve internal controls and operating efficiencies. It noted the two items were repetitive deficiencies from last year, but overall found the school showed significant improvement over previous years’ external audits, according to the presentation. There were nine deficiencies reported last year.

The report also said the principal and bookkeeper had been attending the quarterly financial meetings as outlined in the corrective action plan that was given to the school Jan. 10, 2023.

Committee members Brenda Sheridan (Sterling) and Jeff Morse (Dulles) agreed that the school had made positive steps forward. They also agreed to add that Middleburg Principal Stephen Robinson attend principal meetings moving forward as a new requirement for the probation to be revoked.

Robinson agreed to attend the meetings and said the school is already working to correct the two items found in the audit.

“They are also bringing in another individual that is qualified to kind of support that mindset in the school as well.

Thank you for your support as well as the quarterly meetings and those kinds of things. We are definitely excited about the future for our school,” he said.

Morse expressed concern over the timeline to revoke the probation and made a motion to suspend the board’s typical operation rules so that the report could go to the full board at its Nov. 14

meeting, rather than waiting to hear it as an action item in committee at the end of November.

That motion passed 2-0 with John Beatty (Catoctin) absent.

A corrective action plan was approved by the committee Dec. 14, 2022, and referred to the full board for approval Jan. 10, 2023. The corrective plan had two unannounced, on-site financial audits focused on finding deficiencies.

The committee on March 28 recommended putting the school on probation after hearing the results of the first audit conducted Feb. 8 and sent the recommendation to the full board. The board voted to place the school on probation April 25 due to failure to take corrective measures per the January action plan.

A second on-site, internal audit was performed May 16 that showed financial concern was ongoing.

On June 30, Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates performed an external audit and presented those findings to the division Sept. 29.

The School Board will hear the item Nov. 14. n

The Sheriff ’s Office is investigating at least eight student opioid-related overdoses at Park View High School, including seven that have been reported in the past three weeks.

Four of the overdoses happened in the school, with Narcan administered in of those three cases and in two of those cases school personnel administered CPR, according to the Sheriff ’s Office.

All of the overdoses appear to involve fentanyl, which is commonly found in the form of a counterfeit 30 mg oxycodone pill that is blue, circular and may be stamped “M30.”

The Sheriff ’s Office has assigned extra resources to the school to help identify the source and distribution of the opioids and is working with administrators and school security personnel.

“We know the overwhelming number of Park View students are responsible and care about the safety of their school, and we are putting all available resources into identifying who is responsible for distributing these lethal drugs,” stated Sheriff Mike Chapman in the announcement. “We have also encouraged LCPS to continue its communications with the Park View community and have offered our assistance with additional educational and security measures.”

“I am concerned and saddened by this crisis impacting the Park View community,” Superintendent Aaron Spence stated.

“LCPS is taking active steps to support our students, families and staff with fentanyl awareness and education, including training and supplying staff in each of our high schools with Naloxone for emergencies.”

He said Park View families this week received a message with information and

resources, and school leaders are holding special grade-level assemblies and parent meetings. Additionally, extra administrators, counselors, and safety and security officers have been deployed to the school.

Last spring, six community information sessions were held on fentanyl and the dangers of overdose. Spence said the division would continue to spread the word about the dangers of the opioid.

“I think it is important to note that the issue of addiction is truly at play here.

When students come to school, we want them to learn and thrive. But, most of all we want them to live. We must, as a community, come together to find ways to help our young people who are facing these issues,” he said.

Including these recent overdoses at Park View, the Sheriff ’s Office has investigated 18 reports of opioid overdoses of Loudoun County juveniles this year, compared to 19 during 2022. An opioid overdose is defined as a reaction to a suspected opioid that requires medical treatment in the form of Narcan, CPR, or transport to the hospital.

Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid that is relatively inexpensive to produce and distribute.The Sheriff ’s Office held a Fighting Fentanyl Together community forum last month in Ashburn and urges parents to have regular conversations with their children about the dangers of drugs and how they may appear or be shared, and to be vigilant about any suspicious activities.

Those with information about incidents at Park View High School or any other Loudoun County school are asked to call the Sheriff ’s Office at 703-777-1021, call the anonymous tip line 703-777-1919, email Sheriffs_Narc_Tips@loudoun.gov n

SAFETY briefs 3 Die in Loudoun County Parkway Crash The Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a fatal crash that happened Oct. 25 on Loudoun County Parkway.

The crash happened at 10:50 p.m. just north of the Shellhorn Road intersection.

According to the preliminary report, the crash involved a 2023 Dodge Challenger and a 2023 Toyota Sienna taxicab. The Dodge was northbound on Loudoun County Parkway when the driver lost control, crossed the median, and struck the minivan head-on. Speed is believed to be a factor.

The sole occupant of the Dodge, Iran K. Hinson, 56, of Las Vegas, NV, and the two occupants of the Toyota—driver Dejene B Haye, 51, of Silver Spring, MD, and passenger James E. Humphrey, 66, of Brambleton—died at the scene.

Leesburg Man Arrested After Chase in Stolen Hummer A 44-year-old Leesburg man faces a slew of criminal charges after leading police on a chase from Ashburn to Tysons Corner in a stolen Hummer H2 on Monday afternoon.

According to the Sheriff ’s Office, the

case began just before 2 p.m. Oct. 30 when dispatchers received a call from a citizen reporting what they believed to be an abduction in progress. When deputies arrived on scene, the suspect drove away on the Loudoun County Parkway. While deputies attempted a traffic stop, the driver continued into Fairfax County, where Fairfax County Police officers and Virginia troopers assisted with the pursuit.

The vehicle continued on I-495 north until, at 2:45 p.m., the driver stopped in the area of Chain Bridge Road and Flint Hill Road, got out of the Hummer and allegedly attempted to carjack a vehicle before being taken into custody.

Fairfax County Police Department charged the driver, Joseph C. Daniel, with robbery–carjacking; felony disregard police command to stop; felony hit & run; driving without an operator’s license; and reckless driving.

The Sheriff ’s Office is investigating the initial abduction call and charges are pending related to the pursuit. Daniel is wanted in Loudoun County on prior charges of two counts of possession of stolen property; possession of burglary tools; fleeing & eluding; driving without a license; and three counts of probation violation. n

Co-op Board of Directors Vice Chair Julie Harner said the store has reached 1,205 members.

While the grocery is open to everyone, members receive additional benefits, including a member day once a month to shop products at a 5% discount, discounts from participating local businesses including the Blue Ridge Tree and Berry Farm and Walsh Family Wine, the ability to vote for the co-op’s board of directors, and an end of year dividend based off the store’s annual profit and the amount spent by the member.

The Town Council voted Oct. 25 to strip council member Jennifer Reed of her committee assignments, withhold her quarterly stipend, and censure her for “abdication of duties.”

Mayor Christopher Hornbaker said Reed had missed four consecutive meetings in a two-month period and six obligatory meetings, including Town Council and committee assignment meetings, without good cause, violating the town’s Standards of Conduct and Ethics.

Hornbaker said he had attempted to contact Reed directly.

“I do hope that she’s well and hope that if she chooses to return to the Town Council, that she reach out to any of us or any staff. I will state publicly and say to her next time I speak to her, this is not something that any of us take lightly, not something that any of us want to do,” he said.

WORKFORCE HOUSING IS ABOUT LOUDOUN’S FUTURE ECONOMIC PROSPERITY

45%

of Loudoun renters are spending more than 30% of their monthly income on housing.

More housing options for Loudoun’s workforce are essential to the future of Loudoun.

Workforce Housing Now is not an issue about charity. It’s about the future economic prosperity of Loudoun.

The Round Hill Town Council last week issued an emergency notice urging its utility customers to continue to reduce water consumption.

Round Hill Urges Emergency Water Conservation Round Hill’s voluntary water conservation measures have taken on new urgency as several town wells continue to struggle with groundwater recharge.

The town last week issued an emergency notice urging its utility customers to continue to reduce water consumption.

According to the notice, some town wells have reached “critically low levels” and are unable to be pumped for more than two hours at a time. Typically, they would run on 12-hour cycles.

The Town Council in September enacted voluntary water restrictions for the

utility system, which serves some 4,500 residents in more than 1,800 homes. That action came at the height of the summer drought, but town leaders have warned that well recovery would be a monthslong process.

The town operates 12 wells in its public water system. Crews are working to activate a new high-yield well near the Evening Star treatment plant that could provide emergency capacity while the town works to build a higher capacity treatment plant during the next three years. n

Preservation Groups Announce Unison Easement A 137-acre Unison farm that was the location of an 1862 Civil War battle has been placed under a permanent conservation easement with the assistance of three area preservation groups.

The donated easement was announced by the Land Trust of Virginia, the Virginia Piedmont Heritage Area Association and the Piedmont Fox Hounds Conservation Fund. The VPHA contributed to the costs associated with the easement with a distribution from its Janet Whitehouse Fund.

The land trust provided substantial funding through its Deborah Whittier Fitts Battlefield Stewardship Fund, and additional funds were provided by the PFH Conservation Fund.

The property is within the core of the Civil War Battle of Unison, fought between Oct. 31 and Nov. 2, 1862, as well as being entirely within the Uni-

son Battlefield Historic District, listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places. The property contains a springhouse dating to 1840, which is listed as a contributing resource to the historic district. The property is also partially within the study area for the June 1863 Battle of Upperville. It is also listed as being part of Loudoun County’s Beaverdam Creek Historic Roadways District.

The property includes 107.5 acres that qualify as prime farmland soils or farmland soils of statewide importance, 57 acres of forest land classified as having high conservation value, and Beaverdam Creek frontage.

This easement in Unison was the 247th conservation easement recorded by the Land Trust of Virginia. n

Lovettsville Council Approves Town-Wide Tree Maintenance Program

BY HANNA PAMPALONI hpampaloni@loudounnow.com

The Lovettsville Town Council endorsed a proposal to spend at least $6,000 annually to establish a townwide tree maintenance program during its Oct. 25 special meeting.

Proposed to take effect in the fiscal year 2025 budget, the program is designed to satisfy the requirements of the Tree City USA designation. For that, the town is required to have a tree board or department; have a tree care ordinance that provides clear guidance on planting, removing and maintaining public trees; have a community forestry program with an annual budget of at least two dollars per capita; and have an annual Arbor Day observance and

proclamation.

Council member David Earl said the $6,000 that is allocated in the program is already being spent but dedicating the funds as a budget would make it easier for the staff to use money for those purposes.

Council member Brandon Davis asked if Earl expected the town to spend more than $6,000 on a regular basis.

“I know during infrastructure meetings we’ve talked about how it’s going to be a substantial upfront investment to get these trees pruned and get them to the point that they are eligible for ongoing maintenance,” Davis said. “So, do you foresee that being an issue where $6,000 might be the minimum?

Earl said the $6,000 was a minimum allotment but that any conversation on how much more might be needed

Water tower plan continued from page 18 and Development Dale Lehnig told the council that if they acted quickly and the school system stayed on schedule, the town could achieve significant cost savings by not having to construct a dedicated access road for the tower and having county schools bear the brunt of that cost.

“There is a benefit for both the town and the county,” Lehnig said. “Mayor, as you said quite accurately, that saves the town money as the county would be paying for the construction of the eastwest portion of the road and actually the north-south portion of the road which is where our access road for the water storage tank would be coming off of.”

“We are very well aware of your schedule on your project, and we built our schedule around that to make sure that we are not in your way of construction of the tank,” School division Chief Operations Officer Kevin Lewis said.

Lehnig said that funding for the water storage tank was provided through the American Rescue Plan Act. However, those funds must be obligated by December 2024 and spent by December 2026.

Obligated, Lehnig said, meant that a contractor had to be in place to conduct the work.

The tank is planned to be placed south of Woodgrove High School and west of the town’s Mayfair community. When the School Board builds a secondary access road to the school campus the town

will be able to use that same road to construct and access its water tower, if it can be completed in time for Purcellville to meet the time constraints imposed by the ARPA deadlines.

Public Works Director Jason Didawick said the tower was important to the town because it would increase the ability to provide emergency sources of water.

“In an emergency, the town is on its own to provide water supplies,” he said.

“A new finished water storage tank would add flexibility and reliability under the conditions such as a transmission line break and short-term droughts.”

To move forward, Lehnig said the town must sign off on five documents. Those are

couldn’t be had until bids were received for the cost of maintaining the trees. The allocation also is the minimum amount needed to satisfy the two-dollar per capita Tree City USA requirement, he said.

“The first time that we go in there it’s going to be a whole lot of work,” Earl said. “It’s not going to be an astronomical amount but after that I guarantee you, like I told the mayor earlier, the annual pruning won’t cost 50% of what we pay our contractor to do landscaping in town on an annual basis.”

Town Manager Jason Cournoyer said the town was currently spending less than two dollars per capita.

“I don’t want this to be an expectation that all of the $6,000 is being reallocated from other line items,” he said.

Mayor Christopher Hornbaker said he was concerned that they didn’t know

how much the initial program was going to cost and said a better course might be to do the initial clearing gradually rather than all at once.

“I have no issues spending $6,000 taking care of our trees,” he said. “… but to have someone say, ‘I’m going to get it done in a week. It’s going to cost well into five figures.’ I would caution this council of taking that approach.”

Earl said he understood the concern.

Cournoyer said the town maintains approximately 100 trees in the Town Square, Town Green, Quarter Branch Park, utility facilities, and long the roadways.

The motion passed 4-0-2, with council members Bobby Merhaut and Jennifer Reed absent. n

the Real Estate Conveyance Agreement and associated plats and deeds, plats and a deed that are needed by the town for site access and water main construction, plats and deeds that are needed by Loudoun County for the east/west road temporarily called Fields Farm Road, and the north/ south school access road including rightof-way, access and drainage easements, the Satisfaction and Release of Settlement Agreement between the town and the county and three plats and deeds needed for drainage of the proposed roads.

However, council members and residents of the Mayfair neighborhood expressed concerns that the easements could pave the way for the county to connect the secondary access road to Mayfair Crown Drive in the future. Residents have strongly opposed that under the county’s previous plans to build an athletic complex and park and ride in that same area.

“If these easements are approved, it will inevitably enable the [Northern Collector Road] to connect Mayfair Crown to Fields Farm Road,” Mayfair resident Christine Green said. “… Easements do not cause or build a road, but if these easements are approved and only 140 feet separates the access road from Mayfair Crown’s property lines, it is in effect going to facilitate the NCR to be built.”

Lehnig told the council that the easements were only for drainage and did not allow a road to be built.

“The Fields Farm Road will not connect to Mayfair Crown Drive, but will end in a hammerhead turnaround, which terminated about 110 feet from the property line,” according to an Oct. 24 staff report.

Council members also expressed concerns about that hammerhead terminus.

They said they were afraid it would be “the camel’s nose under the tent” to connect the road to Mayfair.

“The real concern by the council members is the amount of right-of-way seems rather large,” Vice Mayor Christopher Bertaut said.

“It looks presumptuous,” council member Ron Rise Jr. said. “When I saw it, that was the first thing that I thought of.”

“We need that as a way for our guys to turn around when they’re doing snow plowing or anybody else who comes to the end of that road and can’t go any further.

There needs to be a way for them to turn around,” Lehnig said.

She said the easements and deeds would appear for a vote from the council’s Nov. 14 meeting and said it was a project that staff felt passionately about.

“If the Town Council were to deny or delay the approval of these, then we may not be able to meet the deadlines of the expenditure of funds—and again it’s $3.7 million for this project,” she said.

“I’ve heard a couple of times that you’re passionate about the project. And water towers, I think we all up here can understand that,” Council member Mary F. “Boo” Bennett said. “But I’m passionate about that road not going through.

And I’ve been sitting up here for about 10 months and just about every project that comes up here for us to discuss and vote on is last minute and carries this threat of lost funds and lost opportunity.” n

Military Movies Production Company

Movie poster for Lonesome Soldier, debuts this weekend at theatres across the country.

Local Producer Debuts Film ‘Lonesome Soldier’

BY HANNA PAMPALONI hpampaloni@loudounnow.com

A Loudoun producer is debuting a film in six locations across Virginia this weekend telling the true story of Jackson Harlow, a young soldier who leaves his hometown in Tennessee to fight in Iraq and his subsequent struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder.

“Lonesome Soldier: The Movie” co-producer Mary Jo Marino Stemp said she got her start producing television shows in Loudoun years ago. She worked for Adelphia TV in Ashburn before going on to produce a sports show in Reston for Washington’s NFL team.

Directed by Nino Aldi, “Lonesome Soldier” was co-written by Alexander Randazzo and Oscar-nominated Lionel Chetwynd. The film is based on the novel of the same title by Linda Lee. Marino said she was approached by Randazzo, who stars in the film, in 2019 after he heard she had a soft spot for stories about the United States military, being retired U.S. Air Force herself.

“He called me out of the clear blue, and said, ‘somebody said I should contact you,’” she recalled.

She was finishing up her previous film “Burden,” starring Forest Whitaker, and decided it was a good time to move on to the next project.

“I read the script and it was a really good story,” she said. “We all met in Hollywood, and I met the mom, who the story is about as well, and fell in love with her.”

But the production of the film would not be without its challenges. When COVID hit in 2020, the team was not able to do any filming, and some of their funding sources were withdrawn as well. In addition to that, Marino was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end of that year.

She said because the film was independently produced, finding funding was an ongoing challenge the team faced.

“The biggest hurdle was trying to get people to believe in the story,” she said.

After a break and securing enough funding, the team resumed filming in 2022.

Marino said she hopes the film will help educate the community about the

struggles that many servicemen and servicewomen endure.

“Sometimes it gets swept under the carpet when we’re not at war per se, although we kind of are,” she said. “And people do not understand what they’re going through and [what] the families [are going through].”

The film portraying Harlow’s personal experiences as a result of his time in Iraq shows just one instance of the effect PTSD can have on a serviceman and their families.

“Our military shoulders burdens of stress and sacrifice; 16.6 million veterans have served during wartime; 3.6 million veterans have service-related disabilities,” Marino said.

The film will be released Nov. 3 in 120 theaters across the nation with nearby showings taking place at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Winchester, Thursday through Sunday.

“It’s about a mother’s love and mental illness,” Marino said.

Jingle Jam Tickets on Sale Saturday It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas—or at least it will Saturday morning as Jingle Jam fans line up outside the Tally Ho Theater to score tickets to this year’s holiday concert.

For the first time, the all-star Jingle Jam Band is planning three full shows this year—on Friday, Dec. 8 and Saturday, Dec. 9 at 8 p.m. and a matinee at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 10 afternoon. Tickets are $25 with a limit of 10 per person.

The tickets sell out quickly, with the most enthusiastic concert goers camping out overnight to secure an early spot in the line.

The annual holiday concerts were launched in 2007 and returned last year after a two-year pandemic hiatus. Last year’s event raised $13,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund and Loudoun Hunger Relief. n

Tutoring continued from page 3 She noted the MTTS works with Phoenix, the student tracking system used by the division and can share student intervention details with staff members and families. She said the division began integrating the MTTS into Phoenix during the 2021-2022 school year and by this fall it was fully integrated.

“The biggest hurdle is finding tutors,” Ellis said, pointing out existing hiring challenges within the division and having to compete with 132 divisions across the state who are also looking for tutors at the same time.

She said the division plans to hire parttime and hourly site-based tutors and that the Department of Human Resources and Talent Development is looking to create a stipend for school-based tutoring coor-

dinators. It also plans to use a third-party agency to find tutors and to possibly use high school students and other volunteers for before and after school. Also, the division will continue to use digital content that has been funded locally for intervention and tutoring.

Jeff Morse (Dulles) suggested using retired employees in the area, an option Ellis said had been discussed.

Chair Ian Serotkin (Blue Ridge) asked if the service provided by Tutor.com was an option, especially since there is now more money available.

“We had it. We liked it. It was expensive and there were relatively small numbers of students using it, but they loved it,” he said.

The division canceled the tutoring service during the fiscal year 2024 budget talks because of the lack of funding.

Ellis said the idea came up to use an online tutoring service but that the work group felt in-person tutoring was the best

option but online was a backup if they couldn’t find enough tutors.

She said the division would continue to develop a plan for tutoring knowing that a one-size-fits-all approach won’t work for the division.

Ellis said many jurisdictions were still working on their plans. At last check, only 20 had their plans approved by the VDOE and posted on the website.

“I want to emphasize that the spirit of high dosage tutoring is 100% aligned to our mission of ensuring every student can reach their full potential and have the resources to do that,” she said.

The division plans to address chronic absenteeism by using workgroups and a task force to bring awareness to the issue, offer incentives to students, and potentially offer a mental health portal for students, staff and families.

Its plan to implement the Virginia Literacy Act includes expanded training for middle school staff members and the pur-

chase of additional educational materials.

The ALL in Virginia plan was signed Sept. 14 and is an “aggressive action to ensure all Virginia students get the academic support they need to recover learning loss, boost their attendance and academic performance,” according to the announcement from the Youngkin administration.

The statement said Virginia’s Standard of Learning scores remain low and that student achievement remains well below pre-pandemic levels statewide.

Every division in the state is required to implement tutoring by January, according to the plan.

Details of Loudoun’s spending plan will be fleshed out between now and Nov. 14 when it is expected to be voted on by the School Board. Once passed, it will be submitted to the VDOE and the division will begin hiring tutors. n

Albright farm continued from page 3 her time at the farm but also the surrounding area. He said she became a part of the Hillsboro and Purcellville communities, enjoying local restaurants and antiquing. She also frequented Harpers Ferry, Charles Town, and the Appalachian Trail, he said.

“She really did kind of think of it as her own community,” he said.

She loved hosting family and friends, especially at Thanksgiving when she prepared the turkey as the dinner’s centerpiece each year.

“She loved hosting people and would always be wearing a cowboy hat or something kind of fun, very casual and fun. She loved having her colleagues bring their local kids to the farm. She just was very warm in her hospitality,” Freedman said.

Freedman said one of the things Albright loved about the farm was its reported history as being a stop on the underground railroad, even if she couldn’t confirm that was true.

“In her later professional life, after her kids grew up and moved on, it just became a very special place to her where she would go over the weekend, particularly with her sister,” he said. “She did a lot of work and writing there.”

Albright also referenced the farm occasionally in her writings. In her 2019 book “Fascism: A Warning” she wrote, “I am at my farm near the border that sep-

arates Virginia from West Virginia. This morning upon awakening, I poured a cup of coffee, put on a jacket, and walked outside to greet the cows who replied with a hearty chorus of moos. Having exhausted their vocabulary, I returned to the house, took a deep breath, switched on the television, and began writing this.”

And, “My farm provides a good vantage point from which to ponder such topics.

Like a democracy at work, the property is

vulnerable both to sudden storms and to the encroachment of termites, pests, viruses, and weeds. There are predators in the woods, reptiles on the ground, and— overhead—occasional bolts of lightning.

Survival depends on the adherence to a rigorous schedule of maintenance. Yet the farm is also resilient having endured for generations, its evergreens still majestic and its foundation, though set in the rock of an earlier era, satisfyingly firm.”

During her life, Albright was appointed as the country’s first female Secretary of State hosting many foreign leaders at her Hillsboro home. She served in the position from 1997 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton. Her career also included positions on Capitol Hill, on the National Security Council and as a United States ambassador to the United Nations.

Kristen Umstattd (D-Leesburg) and Koran Saines (D-Sterling) are running unopposed for re-election.

The biggest spender in this year’s local elections is Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj (D). The first-term incumbent has reported $1.16 million in contributions, with her report showing a $40,000 self-contribution and other family members as her largest contributors.

Republican challenger Bob Anderson has

raised $76,674, with the largest contribution, $10,000, from James E. Miller of Waterford.

This year’s highest-dollar races feature two hotly contested General Assembly seats.

For the open seat in the new 31st Senate District, Republican Juan Pablo Segura and Democrat Russet Perry together have raised $11 million in the campaign—and they have spent most of that. You may be familiar with their campaign themes from the barrage of TV ads in recent weeks, part of $3.2 million spent in broadcast media buys, according to the Virginia Access Project campaign finance database.

Segura has raised $5 million, including $1.1 million from the Renew Virginia PAC and $250,000 from Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s Spirit of Virginia PAC. Perry has raised $6 million, including $551,000 from the Virginia Senate Democratic Caucus and $370,000 from the Clean Virginia Fund.

In the 30th House District race, also an open seat in a newly configured district, the candidates have raised a combined $2.6 million. Democrat Bob Banse has raised $1.7 million, including $125,000 from the Clean Virginia Fund and $105,000 from the House Democratic Caucus. Repub-

lican Geary Higgins has raised $886,277, including $75,000 from the Republican Commonwealth Leadership PAC and $50,000 from the Spirt of Virginia PAC. The open 27th District House seat also has spurred a competitive race, with Democrat Atoosa Reaser raising $304,561 and Republican Chris Harnisch raising $236,776.

The other General Assembly races are more one-sided affairs, at least where campaign funding is concerned.

In the 32nd Senate District Democrat Suhas Subramanyam has raised $614,379 in his bid to jump from the House of Delegates and Republican Greg Moulthroup has raised $109,972.

In the 26th House District, Democrat Kannan Srinivasan has raised $471,683 and Republican Rafi Khaja has raised $21,552.

Incumbent David Reid (D) has raised $232,027 in his re-election bid in the 28th House District, while Republican Paul Lott has raised $7,331.

In the open 29th House District, former Leesburg councilman Marty Martinez (D) reported raising $596,798, Republican Jonathan Rogers has raised $8,324. n

All voters also will be asked to select up to three candidates to serve on the Soil and Water Conservation District board and to authorize bond sales for school, public safety and parks, and transportation projects. Voters in Hamilton, Middleburg, Purcellville, and Round Hill also will have town council seats on

their ballots.

LETTERS to the Editor The Monolith Editor: A recent headline in the Harvard student newspaper The College Fix really caught my attention. “At Harvard, there are 2,600 more administrators than undergrads.”

The article went on to report Harvard employs 1,352 full-time administrators for every 1,000 undergraduates, a 9% increase over the 2013-14 school year and that the growth in personnel was almost entirely for non-teaching positions, including many jobs focused on advancing diversity, equity and inclusion.

The Loudoun County School System has undergone a similar increase in non-teaching staff.

The total number of employees in the LCPS system has grown from 9,120 employees in 2011 including 5,049 teachers and 420 Administration-professional` staff. The total number of employees in 2022 was 13,018 and the current number of teachers is 5,924. Many of those additional 3,900 jobs are also dedicated to non-teaching positions focused on advancing DEI positions while test scores in reading and math continue to decline and any emphasis on excellence is actively discouraged.

Elections do have consequences and Loudoun County needs to elect a new school board that understands its role is one of checks and balances for the monolith that has developed at 21000 Education Court, respects the rights of parents

and renews emphasis on excelling in the basics of a solid education.

Alarming Editor: Election Day is upon us, and as there are during every election, our community is faced with several important issues.

This includes public safety, medical cost, cost of living, taxes and school funding. However, in the closing weeks of this campaign season a new issue has emerged in Richmond.

The Virginia Board of Education is in the process of updating the Standards of Quality. During a meeting late last week, a VBOE member suggested that the board may decide that there are requirements that are “not pertinent anymore” and that [high school students] “don’t need to take a fine arts class.”

This alarming statement is one that has not been discussed and one that could impact our children’s access to the wonderful lessons and experiences that the arts provide. As an educator and a parent, I stand in firm opposition to this statement and its intent. It’s time for all of us to consider contacting the Virginia

superintendent, all of the VDOE Board of Education members, and select members of VDOE. As a member of Virginia Coalition for Fine Arts in Education, I have co-written legislation for the coming legislative session to require a Fine Arts credit for graduation to ensure that our kids are given a well-rounded education.

My background in the fine and performing arts has taught me many lessons that have served me well over the years. I use them daily in my public and private life. They can be used in the workplace and in the home to create positive outcomes. The simple steps are to always collaborate, communicate your ideas, think critically, and create solutions that support the needs of all. This year more than any in recent memory will require all General Assembly members to follow these important steps that are taught every day in the fine arts classrooms throughout the state.

Now more than ever we must ensure that the fine and performing arts are accessible to all students in the state of Virginia.

Building a Better Loudoun Through Collaboration

BY TONY HOWARD

As the multi-year process of rewriting Loudoun’s zoning ordinance nears conclusion, it is worth recognizing the unprecedented partnership that county officials have offered the Loudoun business community, to work together and greatly improve this document.

That partnership, along with plenty of hard work by the Board of Supervisors, county staff, and business community, has produced a document that is ready to go to the public hearing and be considered for adoption.

If you are unaware, a zoning ordinance determines what can be built in Loudoun, and where it can be built. This includes commercial and residential development.

Over the past two months, Loudoun’s Supervisors, led by Chair Phyllis Randall, have invested countless hours meeting with the Chamber, and other industry community groups, to improve the draft zoning ordinance.

Since Labor Day, the board’s work sessions on the ordinance include input from representatives of the development, tourism, and conservation communities.

This open dialogue allowed the board to gain insights, in real time, as they worked on specific chapters of the ordinance.

That collaborative mindset has resulted

in vast improvements compared to the ordinance’s first draft. These changes will help ensure Loudoun’s economy and our community remain healthy and strong over the next decade.

In the summer of 2022, I could not imagine making that statement.

First, let me take you back to January 2020, when the newly elected board took office and soon initiated the zoning ordinance update.

For two years, county staff, consultants, and volunteer stakeholders worked on the project, mostly behind the scenes.

By the spring of 2022, the Loudoun Chamber and many others began to express concern about the content and direction of the project.

The process appeared irreparably broken, and the initial draft language seemed likely to hinder smart economic growth in Loudoun.

Last July, I wrote a letter to the Board of Supervisors expressing serious concerns with the draft ordinance, which has just been released to the public.

Those concerns were based on the expert conclusions of Loudoun Chamber members and partners with “deep expertise and specialized knowledge of zoning ordinances and land use regulations in Loudoun County and elsewhere,” the letter stated.

“Our collective analysis of the draft

zoning ordinance has led us to the conclusion that the document, as written, lays out rules and guidelines that are inflexible, overly restrictive, difficult to understand and apply, and overall unfriendly to business.”

Six months later, when the project was handed to Loudoun’s Planning Commission, the attitude toward the draft ordinance had little changed.

The Loudoun business community let the commission know that. Especially at a Jan. 26 public hearing, where dozens of local business owners and land use experts detailed a litany of serious shortcomings with the draft.

Most Planning Commission members were open and receptive to suggestions to improve the document.

But the volume and complexities of those improvements, and the brief time they were given to consider the draft zoning ordinance, limited how much good the Planning Commission could do.

In late July, the Board of Supervisors was handed the Planning Commission’s proposed updates.

With much work still to be done, and in the middle of an election season, many felt the prudent thing to do was to delay the process until 2024.

Instead, the board chose to roll up its sleeves and invest the time and energy needed to get the job done, on time. Work

sessions were scheduled, on top of the board’s regular duties, throughout September and October.

Individual meetings were held with business community stakeholders. Several involved multiple supervisors and were open to the public.

Adopted improvements include those that will make it easier to build attainable housing, allow future boards to easily modify the ordinance and establish clear “grandfathering rules” for when the new ordinance applies to land use applications in process.

One of the most fundamental duties of local governments is to ensure consistent economic growth is in balance with a healthy quality of life for their communities.

As simple as that may sound, when it comes to land use and development, local governments and the private sector too often find themselves in adversarial positions.

That is why it is worth commending the Loudoun Board of Supervisors for its willingness to take a more collaborative approach.

While Loudoun businesses did not get every change we sought, the draft zoning ordinance the board is expected to adopt in December is significantly improved over the version they received just 90 days ago.

That shows the value of collaboration and partnership. n
