Folks sorry to say there are no speaking slots for work sessions nor are there votes taken. This
is the opportunity for staff to brief the board about the reg and for the board to ask questions.
Still important to have folks there. It will be televised but I am not sure it streams live. I
think it is posted later.
Wear red and stand outside the room if you cannot get in. I bet press will be there.

attend.

My apologies for not responding sooner, Chris actually left our office some weeks ago and we have
been adapting to the shift in responsibilities since. Please feel free to give me a call tomorrow to
discuss, I will be largely available outside of 10:30 to 1:30 and 2:30 to 3:30.

Chris:
The effort to reach staff in the office has been an exercise fraught with consternation given the
import of the issue before me and many of Barbaras constituents.
A response at the earliest convenience would be greatly appreciated as the Board is seeking to
rapidly embed regulations regarding gender-identity and transgender students and employees
this coming Thursday, July 14, 2016.

Congresswoman Comstock should seek an investigation/hearing by the House Education and Work

1. the federal governments threats against the nations 14,000 school districts and the
governing authority of 90,000 School Board Members. and

Upcoming Board Meeting
Tuesday, July 05, 2016 2:55:47 PM
I am Chaney Mullins a close friend of John and Laura Hanford and I work as a part-time
special projects writer for Concerned Women for America, the nation's largest women's
public policy organization.I was at last years hearing where Laura and my former boss
JoEllen Murphy both spoke.
My boss Penny Nance has tasked me with getting up to speed on the issue and seeing if
anything can still be done in Fairfax County and what it will take to prevent this from
happening elsewhere.
3. The protected class designation of transgenderism and the inclusion of transgender language
in the student handbook, then forcing of students to sign that handbook grossly violating their
religious freedom.
4. The method by which these policies were adopted in a way that did not give parents
adequate time to respond or follow their promise of public debate.
It also seems there are 4 potential responses to what is happening:
1. Alterations to curriculum or at least strong opt-out policies for sexual education in both the
sex-ed, family, health, and all relevant units, even those which did not previously include optout.
2. Obama's guidelines do not have the force of law and we could propose traditional bathroom
policies or at least the adoption of alternatives like allowance to use single-stall staff
bathrooms. We also need to push for full conversation about the extensive transgender
"guidelines".
3. If it cant be changed, students can sue for their religious freedom rights to not sign the
student handbook.
4. Expose the corrupt method by which these policies were implemented and why they are
harmful in a series of opt-eds aimed to prevent this in other states.
---The most current action of the board deals with number 2: The long-awaited guidelines for
dealing with transgender students were emailed Friday July 1st
- AFTER the June 30th board meeting and
- right before a holiday weekend, conveniently timed with minimum press
- presented in only email format
- alone and without a full report from a consultant
- and with a plan to address them only through a forum and not subjecting them to a full
working board session and public comment as was promised last year.
There are concerns with the guidelines themselves as well as their method of implementation.
1. Attending the Forum and Board Meeting on Thursday July 14th from 5:45-7pm and board
meeting afterwards.
2. Calling upon our members to notify the superintendent and board chairman of the desire
for a full working session on this issue to ensure full community involvement as promised last
year, and as cannot take place through unjustly timed email communication and private
forum.
Please send your comments to:
Superintendent Garza SuperintendentGarza@fcps.edu
Board Chairman Pat.Hynes@fcps.edu
cc: Mychele Brickner mbrickner1@icloud.com
Andrea Lafferty alafferty@traditionalvalues.org
3. Writing regarding the actual policies and their unjust implementation to prevent this in
other states.
Please educate me further on this issue and let CWA know how we can help. We desire to be
a resource to you as appropriate.
Thank you.

Fairfax

FCPS

Herring,
as
their

to do
so.
Herrings
political
opinion
that

is in

conflicts

Commonwealth.
Actions

violation

HB
385
PROTECT
THE
CHILDREN
OF
VIRGINIA
Last
week
the
House
General
Laws
Committee
narrowly
defeated
HB
385
by a
vote
of 1012.
Delegate
Chris

(R97th)
originally
voted
for the
bill

causing

HB

(Cole)
which
prevents

public

from
allowing
people
to use
the

Fairfax
County
Public
Schools
is a
current
example
of
why
HB
385 is
necessary.
FCPS
illegally
changed
its
nondiscrimination
policy,
stating
the
bad
opinionfrom
Attorney
General
Mark
Herring,
as
their
authority
to do
so.
Herrings
political
opinion
that
school
boards
could
add
sexual
orientation
or
gender
identity
to
their
nondiscrimination
policy
is in
direct
contradiction
to
previous
Democrat
and
Republican
Attorney's
General.
FCPS
policy
now
conflicts
with
the
policy
of the
Commonwealth.
Actions
by
FCPS
are a
clear
violation
of the
Dillon
Rule.
HB
385
simply
restates
the
fact
that
localities,
under
the
Dillon
Rule,
do not
have
the
authority
to
adopt
any
changes
to
their
policies,
including
adding
gender
identity
to
protected
classes,without
authorization
from
the
General
Assembly.

Mr. Worrell:
Kindly note the below request. I cannot express clearly enough that, considering pending potential
action by the Fairfax County School Board and/or Superintendent, time is of the essence.
Please advise at your earliest convenience.

Mr. Worrell:
With the recent developments related to the U.S. Department of Educations and the U.S.
Department of Justices Office of Civil Rights May 13, 2016 Dear Colleague Letter, events are
rapidly developing on the national stage and here in Fairfax County.
Congresswoman Comstock should seek an investigation/hearing by the House Education and Work
Force Committee regarding the Constitutionality of:
1. the federal governments threats against the nations 14,000 school districts and the
governing authority of 90,000 School Board Members. and
2. the DOJ OCR and U.S. Department of Educations pursuit of expanding Title IX under threats
to extract federal education funds from individual school districts meant for the highest
poverty students and students with special education needs.
Considering pending potential action by the Fairfax County School Board and/or Superintendent, the
Grayson School Boards recent North Carolina style decision, time is of the essence. The courtesy
of a reply is requested.
