Beth Barts, a far-left member of the Loudoun County School Board, has resigned from her position.
First elected in 2019, Barts has been criticized by parent groups over Critical Race Theory and transgender policies in the school system. Her resignation, which will take effect on November 2, 2021, staves off an ongoing recall attempt.
“This was not an easy decision or a decision made in haste. After much thought and careful consideration, it is the right decision for me and my family,” said Barts in a statement Friday.
“I am grateful to have had a role in empowering students to achieve academic and personal successes in supportive and most importantly inclusive school environments. I am especially proud to have participated in helping steer the Loudoun County Schools System through the uncharted waters of educating students throughout a global pandemic,” she added in a post to Facebook and to her personal blog, “Barts Blog.”
The full text of her resignation letter follows:
Please accept this letter as my formal resignation fr This was not an easy decision or a decision made in haste. After much thought and careful consideration, it is the right decision for me and my family.
While serving as the Leesburg representative on the Loudoun County School Board, I was afforded many deeply rewarding opportunities for which I am truly appreciative. I am grateful to have had a role in empowering students to achieve academic and personal success in supportive and most importantly inclusive school environments. I am especially proud to have participated in helping steer the Loudoun County School System through the uncharted waters of educating students throughout a global pandemic. Though not an easy task, I remained committed to doing what was best for all of Loudoun County Public School students and staff.
Since taking office in 2020, I have personally responded to 10,518 emails, attended over one hundred in-person and virtual meetings and logged more phone calls with school personnel and constituents than I can count. I have remained dedicated throughout my tenure to providing the best service to the community that I could. While I look forward to a return to a simpler life of volunteer service, I will miss my office hours and the conversations I had with so many of you in our community. The emails and conversations allowed me to advocate for and facilitate solutions for our local Leesburg families. Thank you for putting your trust in me.
I would like to extend a special thank you to the thousands of Leesburg constituents and others, who have provided unyielding support to me during my School Board term. I am absolutely certain a member of this wonderful community will step forward to be appointed and continue to move LCPS forward. I wish my board colleagues all the best in the future.
Signing off with love,
Beth Barts
Barts’ resignation comes amidst criticism of the Loudoun County School system, and a recent Daily Wire report that the superintendent of the school district misled the public when he claimed at a June 22 meeting that, to his knowledge, there were no records of assaults in school bathrooms.
Will she be destroying her personal shrine to Karl M. any time soon?
Bet even six months ago, these people were not figuring on any of this happening with the locals finally standing up to them and challenging their imposition of far left thinking.
The movement to hold school boards accountable, despite the fedgov’s tactics to scare people off, seem to be gaining attention and traction. I’m hearing more about it daily it seems.
Need to keep the trend going. I’m glad my grandson is in a good small-town school system that doesn’t even require masks (except on the bus because it’s “public transportation”.) Can you imagine all that freedom? No masks in a school. The founding fathers would be proud.
We’re just sloppin’ over with right wing extremism.
Not for a while. The altar and the human remains are hazardous materials - medical waste.
White leftist women are the worst.
The board will need 100% turnover.
I am glad it’s not my daughter. I already know exactly what I’d do to these tools, and then I’d surrender peacefully. After the job was done.
For too long many folks regarded School Board races as unimportant, except when tax hikes were involved.
The left saw an opportunity and struck accordingly.
One down and how many more to go?
Principal of first school for transferring a known brutal sexual assaulter to a second school and not initiating expulsion procedures.
Principal of second school for allowing a vicious criminal to attend his school - knowingly putting the students at that school at extreme risk, allowing second brutal attack to take place.
Superintendent for pretending he had “never heard of the brutal sexual assaults.”
They should ALL be personally sued.
Gee whiz, isn’t it nice how Biden has united the country.......”against him” and the Lefty cabal?
Looked up her photo: Obese, pasty white, liberal dingbat.
have tar and feathers been hit by bidenflation?
asking for a friend
Sometimes a demons thirst for evermore blood is quenched.
Parents there would do good by tar and feathering all the school board members and running em out of town
Liberal White women are the greatest threat to life, liberty and freedom.
