Lee Kaiser Is Honored

Named Elementary School Counselor of the Year.

A boyhood tragedy and its aftermath helped shape Lee Kaiser’s life. It influenced him to become a school counselor, and he’s held that job at Centreville Elementary for eight years. He also does it quite well and was recently named Fairfax County Public Schools’ Elementary School Counselor of the Year for 2011-12.

Letter: Growing Cost Of Government


I want to commend the Centre View for covering the candidate's forum at Chantilly High School. The questions from the students and teachers were excellent and well informed, and it was my privilege to represent the Romney campaign. I would like to correct a statement in which I was misquoted about the U.S. economy in response to a question about unemployment being 7.8 percent.
