On Monday, February 26, Superintendent Scott Brabrand of Fairfax County Public Schools spoke to McLean-area parents, students and community members at Franklin Sherman ES, in downtown McLean. Dr. Brabrand introduced himself to the audience, and summarized some of his primary goals for the school system. One of his top priorities was continuing to increase teacher salaries, to make it easier to hire and retain good teachers. After his presentation, many students spoke about not feeling safe in the schools, and asked whether administrators intended to facilitate student-planned walkouts during the school day, to rally in favor of gun control.
