Education Technology Review Committee (ETRC)
As Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) continues to expand the use of technology in teaching and learning, the School Board recognizes the importance of ensuring these tools are implemented thoughtfully, responsibly, and equitably. From artificial intelligence to digital learning platforms, emerging technologies are rapidly shaping classrooms, and FCPS is committed to making sure these innovations enhance student learning while protecting student well-being, accessibility, and instructional quality. To help guide this work, the Board has directed the superintendent to establish the Educational Technology Review Committee (ETRC), creating a dedicated space for community voices to help shape how educational technology is used across the division.
The ETRC will serve as an advisory body to division leadership, providing recommendations on the responsible, effective, and equitable use of educational technology, including artificial intelligence use in the FCPS classrooms.
Membership will include parents/caregivers, students, teachers, and school-based administrators and will be representative of elementary, middle, and high school levels. The committee will meet on a regular basis during the school year, with additional working group meetings as needed. Members will be asked to serve a one-year term and may be reappointed. Additional details about the committee's focus can be found here.

Each school board member gets to appoint one member to serve on ETRC. I am looking for FCPS parent/caregiver representatives, including those with perspectives on accessibility, disability support, and multilingual learner needs. All FCPS parents/caregivers are welcome to express interest, regardless of your level of technology expertise.

End Of Year Go Festival
 At the beginning of the school year, I was proud to announce the launch of Go Clubs at several schools across our division. Through a partnership with the American Go Association, this timeless strategy game has provided students with meaningful opportunities to strengthen critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.
To celebrate a successful year, we are excited to host an End-of-Year Go Festival at our newest school in the western part of the county, SkyView High School, located at 2949 Education Drive, Herndon, VA 20171.
The festival will offer students and families the opportunity to play Go, connect with fellow participants, and visit one of the newest schools in our division. The festival is open to all students and parents who are interested in playing the game regardless of their membership in any school club.
Beyond its strategic depth, Go serves as a valuable educational tool for younger students by reinforcing foundational math skills such as counting, multiplication, and basic calculations. Through play, students build mathematical confidence while developing analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities in an engaging and supportive environment.
