In a surprise development today, City of Falls Church School Board Chair Joan Wodiska, often sharp-tongued in her passionate defense of the interests of the City’s schools in the face of difficult budget times, stood to speak at the final town hall meeting on the City’s budget and hailed the constructive role of Mayor Nader Baroukh in the process. “We have a good friend in the mayor and the things he’s doing for the schools,” she said. “The City Council has been incredibly collaborative and committed to ensuring we have world class schools in the City of Falls Church. I am very confident things are going to go well for the schools.”
