Theresa Vargas: She gave 67 years to working in schools. Then she gave $1 million. Even after her death, Lillian Orlich, who served as a teacher and counselor before retiring at the age of 89, is still helping a #Virginia school system
"At the time, Orlich was 89 and had just retired after working 67 years as a teacher and counselor, almost all of those spent at Osbourn High and Osbourn Park High in Prince William County, Va. She was the kind of educator who arrived early and stayed late and kept in touch with students long after they graduated.
…
On March 7, Orlich passed away in a senior living community at the age of 95. On March 17, a memorial service was held for her at Osbourn Park High, in an auditorium named after her.
…
Orlich left a $1 million donation to SPARK, the education foundation for Prince William County Schools."

Prince William County admits election tally in 2020 shorted Joe Biden

A northern Virginia county is acknowledging that it underreported President Joe Biden’s margin of victory there over Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election by about 4,000 votes. It was the first detailed accounting of the errors that initially became public as part of a criminal case. Thursday’s admission from the Prince William County Office of Elections comes a week after prosecutors dropped charges against the county’s former registrar. Counts were also off by lesser margins in a Senate and congressional race. In a statement, the county’s current director of elections emphasized that the mistakes did not come close to affecting the outcome of any race.
