prince william county schools

Gil Trenum (R)

Desi Arnaiz (I)

Election Background

Milt Johns is currently Brentsville Districts School Board member. To run for Chairman of the School Board, Johns relinquished the Brentsville position. That left an open seat and prince william county schools and Arnaiz competing for the empty seat.

Although there relatively little information about this race in the newspaper, it is quite important. The Prince William County prince william county schools Board appoints our school officials and controls a budget of over one billion dollars to educate 70,000 students. Amazingly, however, we pay School Board members only about a thousand dollars a month. How we get good people to volunteer for this difficult job, I can only guess, but somehow we do  fortunately.

WUSA9.com provides a brief description of both candidates on its website (here).

The Issues

The primary issue is Prince William County schools is overcrowding (here).

Both candidates emphasize maintaining education quality.

Arnaiz specifically addresses the issue of ESL students, a growing issue, on his website. Nonetheless, Arnaiz does not promote illegal immigration (see his comment here).

The Candidates

(R)

Gil Trenum is a relative newcomer (only ten years), but he and his wife, Michelle, have taken an active interest in local affairs. Thus Trenum has earned the endorsement of the Republican Party (here) and one of our local newspapers (here).

Trenum has a solid technical education, a good military background, and a record of local community involvement. His Nokesville neighbors know him, and prince william county schools have provided him an excellent springboard into the School Board race.

Desi Arnaiz (I)

Desi Arnaiz is a local business owner, a retired senior military officer, and long-time respected member of the PWC GOP. At first glance, Arnaizs distinguished record and greater experience would suggest that he is the best choice for School Board.

Citizen Tom’s Recommendation

Arnaiz actually started running for the School Board first, and he quickly got the endorsement of most local Republican officeholders. However, rank and file party members chose to william county schools Trenum. Since then, Trenum has receive the endorsement of most local Republican Officeholders (here).

Exactly why PWC GOP members chose to endorse Trenum instead of Arnaiz I can only guess. I expect the fact Trenum has children in the school system, and his children represent both him and his lady well, probably explains the choice.

After competed for the PWC GOPs endorsement and Trenum received it, Arnaiz should have dropped out of the race. As a condition for competing for the endorsement, Arnaiz had agreed to drop out if the PWC GOP chose to endorse someone Unfortunately, Arnaiz reneged on his promise (details here).

Vote for Gil Trenum.
