Making one IT person (Luftglass) the fall person for this disaster will not suffice.

Brabrand needs to step down immediately.

Corbett Sanders must leave the School Board. As a two time Chair of the School Board, it was her responsibility to make sure FCPS administrators were on top of things. She failed miserably, just as she has failed before in recent years (while making sure money that should have spent across the county ended up spent largely in her district).

Agree that Braband needs to go. But most of the school board was brand new when covid hit and are only cleaning up a mess that was left after years of control by people who simply did whatever the superintendent wanted and never questioned or performed any real oversight at all. Administration literally had NO oversight, and largely did nothing but pay itself a lot of money and expand its numbers for years. This school board is dedicated to addressing that and providing more accountability, but the pandemic started just after they did and they did not have time to even start on their agenda before they had to deal with it. The incompetence shown was the result of years of lack of oversight in the administration itself, which left a bunch of useless paper pushers just marking time until retirement and not doing the jobs they were being over paid for.

+1000. And there are others in senior roles at Gatehouse whose incompetence would receive more scrutiny, but for the fact that the kids have not been in the buildings. FTS is every bit as big a mess as IT, except they get to spend even more money.

Most of the school board are repeat members.

ARe you slow? Nine of the twelve are new this year.

Actually only eight. You forgot Karen Corbett "No West Potomac Kid Will Ever Go to Mt Vernon" Sanders.
