A request that Arlington County Board members use their influence â whether through sweet-talking or something more forceful â to get county schools back up and running fell largely on deaf ears Dec. 12.
Board members said they were working with their School Board counterparts, but had no power to force a reopening of schools that have been shuttered since last March.
Acknowledging for the record that the situation is âreally, really frustrating,â County Board Chairman Libby Garvey said the county government was providing resources to make an eventual back-to-class rollout possible, but the final say on resuming classes was not theirs.
âWe really are providing all we can,â said Garvey, a former School Board member who, in her re-election bid this year, occasionally opined on the need to get classes back in operation.
