Superintendent Dr. Durán walks through the Barcroft Elementary library with Principal Judy Apostolico-Buck. Bookshelves and tables fill the space, while a librarian leads a lesson with a group of students seated on the floor near a large screen displaying a learning activity.

Superintendent Dr. Durán poses with Barcroft Elementary Student Advisory Committee leaders and staff members in front of a bright yellow Student Council Association bulletin board. The board highlights “Important People’s Week” with a schedule of appreciation events for different school staff members.

I had a great visit to Barcroft Elementary! I stopped by the library and met with the Student Advisory Committee leaders for a thoughtful discussion. Thank you to Principal Judy Apostolico-Buck for the welcome and for showcasing the great work happening at Barcroft! #OneTeamOneAPS #EveryAPSstudent

They’re trying to make trans people be the first domino piece and once we fall, all rights will be at risk. We need our allies’ support now more than ever.

Trans people deserve safety.
Trans people deserve dignity.
Trans people deserve respect.
Trans people deserve love.
Trans people deserve joy.

So inspired by the incredible turnout at the @wofava.bsky.social meeting in Clarendon today, led by the indomitable @micaelaporod.bsky.social

Representatives from VOICE (Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement) visited with me today to discuss their priorities and initiatives for CY25 and beyond. It was a great opportunity to engage with such a committed organization focused on making a positive impact in our community.
