FCPS is hiring an executive protection agent

Asra- please stop posting your “news” articles here. No one is interested in hearing from you.

It’s highly presumptuous of you to pretend you know who is linking to these articles.

My guess if you’ll get increasingly confrontational and then ask for the thread to be locked because there’s sniping.

Queen Reid is right. I just skimmed the article, but I didn't see mention of any other school superintendent that has this. What are our rights as taxpayers? Do we have a right to an explanation of what credible threats she actually faces? Plenty of teachers and students get threats and the school system does not protect them. If she were known as conservative instead of liberal and progressive would people let her get away with this queen-like behavior?

There were no credible threats, or it would have been reported in the news.

Riiiiight. Because credible threats are announced via press release. You MAGA types really are not the brightest.

Yes, the FBI will investigate credible threats to public persons.

I am liberal and I think FCPS school board and superintendent are atrocious. We actually moved out of FCPS specifically because I think that school district is run so poorly. It's not conservative or liberal - its a financial mess run by a bunch of money-grubbing overly ambitious b-list politicians. The ones who are hurting are the kids and the country's future.

NP. Made so largely by the efforts of parents (and those they hire) to keep their kids on track.

It's like clockwork, Asra and her friends and family show up with her inflammatory "articles" and posts like crazy 3-4 months before every. major election. This is exactly what she did four years ago, too, she tried to stir up fear in all the NOVA mommies and her crew got Youngkin in office. Be wary, folks.

Why is your approach always to shoot the messenger and never grapple with the substance?

It’s yet another FCPS expenditure for which the justification is clear as mud.

If there are actual physical threats against Reid, those responsible should be arrested. Otherwise this is more performative BS from Reid and the School Board. They want to pretend they are doing tough “work” and making “courageous” decisions that require protection from those they are paid to serve.

For the most part, everyone I know just thinks Reid is really, incompetent, and wishes FCPS was better run. But that’s an opinion, and not one that requires a security detail.

This forum will be mostly useless until the Nov election is over

Because there is no substance.

No

They are the top schools because the rest of the country has already collapsed. There are very bright children whose parents are happy to send them to tutoring. The schools themselves are really not very good. They stick your kid in front of a computer or ipad all day. No textbooks - even for math - no paperback books for children to read. The teachers buy all the books and supplies for themselves - and have supplies donated by parents.

Much of the money goes to EdTech, like Google and Sharepoint. Others, like YouTube, comes with ads. It's literally everything I would NOT want in a school system.
