"Keeping our schools safe is a top priority and, though much of that work goes on behind the scenes, Reid's leadership has been instrumental in APS's work on school safety and security.  At the same time, he has been focused on protecting students’ rights, including educating students about those rights."

Member, Arlington County Board

"Reid’s commitment to our schools, work ethic, and focus on listening make him the right choice to continue serving Arlington on the School Board for the next four years. He is a careful financial steward, values our teachers and education professionals, and will make sure our educational investments are addressing the most important priorities. I hope you will join me in voting for Reid and supporting his re-election."

"Reid understands that education is about more than books and tests; it’s about creating an environment that generates an excitement for learning that cultivates success. That’s why he spearheaded the budget process that brought APS mental health standards into alignment with best practices and ramped up social services support for students. It’s also why he has led the board in standing up for transgender youth and continues to ensure that inclusion and respect are cornerstones of our educational principles."

"Arlington has thrived as a community because of shared values of inclusion, public service, and good government. It takes commitment and hard work to put these values into practice, the kind of commitment and hard work Reid Goldstein has demonstrated as a school board member and schools activist. Reid's work for our schools is a labor of love: let's keep him working for us."
