Six File For Neabsco School Board Spot
By Greg L | 5 January 2010 | Prince William County | 10 Comments
Six residents of the Neabsco District filed to replace Julie Lucas on the School Board according to a press release issued today. Among the candidates are a positively rabid illegal alien supporter, one of Sharon Pandak’s campaign staff, and some others whose names aren’t as familiar. It should be interesting to see the papers these folks have filed and how the discussion unfolds, as Neabsco lives up to its reputation for having some of the most interesting candidates in the county.
Here’s the press release:
Six individuals have submitted applications for interim appointment to fill the Neabsco District seat on the Prince William County School Board, which was vacated by Julie C. Lucas on December 31. Lucas resigned to assist in caring for her elderly father who lives out-of-state. As required by Virginia law, the School Board will appoint an interim member to the School Board who must be a qualified voter and bona fide resident of the Neabsco District. That member will serve as the Neabsco representative to the School Board until a special election is held in November of 2010.
The applicants are Lisa E. Bell, Denise Hoover, Lydia M. Gonzalez, Nicole A. Robbins, Zoe E. Vitter, and Christopher M. Williams.
A public hearing on the Prince William County School Board’s interim appointment of the new Board member will be held shortly after the regular meeting begins at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at the Kelly Leadership Center. Residents wishing to address the School Board at this hearing need to sign up by contacting the Clerk to the School Board in advance, either by telephone or email by noon the day of the hearing, or in person on the night of the hearing, from 6 – 6:55 p.m. Each speaker will be provided three (3) minutes to make comments. Applicants for the position are also invited to speak and will be allowed five (5) minutes. No nominee or applicant whose name has not been considered at the public hearing shall be appointed as a School Board member.
The School Board is scheduled to vote on the appointment at the School Board meeting on February 3, 2010.
The meeting on the 20th might be pretty interesting to attend…
UPDATE: I’ve learned that the Lisa Bell mentioned in this press release is actually the wife of Grant Bell, who I’ve had the pleasure to meet in the past and someone who would be a great pick for this position. Yes, there actually is someone seeking this position who is reasonable, level-headed, and not the typical leftist wacko you may have seen trying to unseat Julie Lucas and gain a seat on the school board in the past. Let’s hope the School Board makes the non-insane pick here and chooses Lisa Bell.

We’ve got so many rabid illegal aliens in our schools, it only makes sense that they should get an equally rabid supporter to represent their interests.
the zoey vitter one raises eybrows for sure…that’s one woman I would not want anywhere near that institution.
I met a Lydia Gonzales a while back — she’s this short rotund woman who was practically foaming at the mouth about the Rule of Law Resolution and leads some local ethnic superiority organization called HOLA. She’s a complete psycho. If she got on the school board they’d be talking about how Texas was illegally stolen from mexico and we need to give it back to them in no time.
As far as Zoe Vitter, she seems like a nice lady but her ideas are all plain off the wall. Heck, anyone that worked as hard for Pandak as she did has to have a screw loose somewhere. Sharon Pandak was one of the strangest candidates I’ve ever seen in PWC, and the bar there ain’t that high.
Greg, you said “and some others whose names aren’t as familiar.” and “Let’s hope the School Board makes the non-insane pick here and chooses Lisa Bell.” Lisa Bell may be a great choice, she may even be the best choice, but how the hell do you know if you aren’t familiar with the other choices? Statements like this tell me what kind of a guy you really are, short sighted.
well jack,
I would say the others are actually quite well known…I personally know little of Lisa Bell however the others have been quite prominent in many areas of PWC going’s on.
I would have applied, but the train was late.
What’s up chuck,
If they are so prominent then why are they not familiar to Greg? And why does he know one person would be better than the other?
Boy, the sitting Board Members need to really do some research.
Lydia Gonzales is off the wall. She was a teacher at Woodbridge H. S. back several years ago. She was a real whaco then and still is. She also was quite active siding with the Illegals and did not like the 287g.
She would sell us down the drain. Also anyone knowing a Committee of 100 member,ask them about Lydia. She ruied that Committee.
She is nasty,rude and think she knows it all.
As we get info on the others,it will come out.
Just hope theres at least one Good One!!!
“Conservative 2,” I have been a Committee of 100 member for 15 years, and while I certainly wouldn’t call Lydia Gonzales a political ally, I certainly wouldn’t say that she ever “ruled that Committee,” or that she is particularly “nasty,” or “rude,” or think[s] she knows it all” … at least no more so than anyone else who presumes to speak on public issues.
About her position on the Rule of Law Resolution, I don’t know enough to rebut or endorse your comments.
That having been said, I believe — from what I know of those on this list — that Lisa Bell is the superior applicant for this post. Of course, my virtually guarantees that she won’t be selected for it.
That last sentence should read: “Of course, my endorsement virtually guarantees that she won’t be selected for it.”
