Call about the personal security detail Reid is hiring for herself when the FCPD can already handle any threats.

Email about the new volunteer program that was billed as a way to get non-parent community members involved in our schools but is now going to include criminal background checks and fingerprinting of parents for any kind of regular volunteerism in schools.

What’s the complaint here exactly? That schools are TOO secure?

Safety is a top priority.
And now, my complaints:
1. How much money have they set aside to do this? My kid is in a class with almost 35 kids. FCPS couldn't afford to fully staff elementary schools just a few months ago, but now they can afford to pay for a fingerprint background check for thousands of parents? When parents already scan their license for names to get checked against a sex offender registry. What other offenses is FCPS looking for, and what are they going to find that really prevents crimes against students? Basically, it seems like it will be a huge amount of money for not a lot of payoff.
2. How many volunteers will schools lose when people won't be willing or able to do this? Will schools get enough volunteers willing to do the process in order to do the regular things the school usually does, like book fair, field trips, etc., or will teachers and IAs have to fill in the gaps on those fun experiences?
3. What about parents who might not want someone taking their fingerprints and information in the current political climate?
4. FCPS emails are touting this as something that is going to enhance family-school partnerships or deepen relationships between schools and families. It's going to do the opposite.

Got it. FCPS is now too secure.

1. I don't know.
2. Many. Too much trouble for a one time or occasional volunteer. This
3. Only the paranoid would be affected by that. That is BS.
4. More Reid spin.

Teacher here, met Michelle Reid recently. I am not someone to draw conclusions on someone from afar. I was actually excited to have Michelle Reid come to our school and spend time with our kids. Things were going well until an unplanned event occurred. Michelle Reid was extremely rude and so self entitled, it was nauseating. She was very late, left early. Maybe she was having a bad day, but she puts on a show for the kids but behind the scenes she was a nightmare.

Get a life. You seriously took time to pull up a thread from a few months ago to share this? Do you need attention?

You gave no specifics about what she said or did nor did offer any grace because maybe she really was having a bad day and you could’ve kept this to yourself.

This thread gets bumped all the time.

I’m curious about the specifics so hopefully the PP shares.
