Anyone know who Superintendent Finalist Canidates are?

Logan dropped out. It appears to be Dr Michelle Reid.

Why did she withdraw? It appeared she wanted to be close to her family here in the area and that being away from her family took a toll on her personal life?

lol less than 24 hours after the NAACP endorsed a candidate, she withdraws.

The article says she withdrew a week ago.

There was a special SB meeting a week ago on Saturday so many the SB was informed then that Logan was withdrawing. If so it begs the question as to why the NAACP put out the statement yesterday unless they had stale information or were just trying to torpedo Reid.

Either way another mess on FCPS’s hands. They screw up everything.

FCPS screws up everything it touches.

Do you want your current employer knowing that you are looking for a new job?

10:14 sounds crazy! Talk about starting with a story/conspiracy and trying to cram facts into it.

It happens all the time with searches for college presidents and even high school coaches.

But, please, keep making excuses for the buffoons in charge of FCPS. They are clearly doing a great job of running a disciplined, confidential process.

It’s good to know FCPS still has a few die-hard defenders who rush to their defense every time they screw up. It happens a lot.

They are an echo chamber of party activists who advance their own agendas and they hand-pick who gets to have a voice in their decisions (hint: agreeing with them in advance is what matters).

The Fairfax NAACP doesn’t usually object to that process because they usually have an outsized influence on FCPS, but in this particular instance they didn’t like the School Board’s apparent preference for Reid, so they decided to foul the nest, ostensibly by claiming about the lack of transparency but more obviously to try and promote Logan over Reid.

Not surprisingly, it’s backfired, since Logan withdrew from consideration over the past 24 hours and some of the Democratic loyalists are demanding an investigation into who breached their NDA and disclosed the finalists to the NAACP.

The irony, of course, is that all the inside baseball and treachery demonstrates why so few qualified candidates were interested in the position and why the replacement of the back-stabbing hacks on the School Board in 2023 is far more important than the appointment of a new superintendent in 2022 (after all, a new School Board can terminate the contact of Reid or any other puppet the current SB appoints this year).

Apparently, they thought they could force a candidate into the position with fake outrage. This whole ‘disrupt’ movement is out of control.

This, and any notion that this is a “grassroots” campaign by the NAACP and others is pure horse$hit. I would venture to say there is carefully orchestrated campaign even here on DCUM with many of these anti-FCPS threads and posts. There are deep pockets (ie Koch, DeVos) whose sole interest is in dismantling public education. The more chaos there is, the happier they are.

Can you explain how Koch and DeVos-affiliated groups persuaded the NAACP to issue a press release yesterday (1) crapping over the entire FCPS selection process but (2) squarely endorsing one candidate (Logan) over the other (Reid). It was folks like Sujatha Hampton, the education chair of the Fairfax NAACP, who were reaching out to all their contacts urging them to contact the School Board to complain and lobby for Logan, not any of the local conservatives.

Sounds like you're just trying to obfuscate the fact that your friends now have egg all over their faces (since Logan apparently had pulled out a week earlier).

This reads like one of those John Birch Society types who thought that Dwight Eisenhower was a communist plant.

It's hard to tell the difference between the "John Birch Society types" and the "V the Clash"/"History Teacher" activists on the left.
