FCPS is hiring an executive protection agent

[Anonymous]

* No recess outside of Elementary School
* English class, even for the advanced students, requires no reading of actual books
* No sports until high school - and then 50 kids trying out for 15 spots.
* The school board debates utterly useless garbage but manages to pass hiring their campaign managers on FCPS staff
* They talk equity but do absolutely nothing to make anything actually equitable except hire crazy expensive token black women to "run DEI"
* They send out endless surveys about kids' mental health - which only makes kids question their mental health but solves nothing
* Kids never, ever leave the building in Middle and High School. Sometimes for PE but half the year, they are sitting and learning about "health"

Speak for yourself. I applaud her for consistently exposing the truth. Go back under your bridge to stew.

Who approves this or does she get to make this decision on her own? I assume if there w2as a credible threat it would be reported to the police and would be public record? (Could someone who knows the system chime in?) Is there a threat to the entire school system-students and teachers as well and she is only protecting herself? What could possibly warrant this if there is nothing worthy of a police report?

If she is receiving numerous frequent violent threats, who are we to say she doesn’t need protection? Attacks on public officials are on the rise. If the police and the SB think she needs protection, it’s quite possible she needs protection.

I’m still stuck on how she was handed an 11% raise while teachers got 5% and had to fight and beg for it.

“Truth”? LOL

Asra pushes RWNJ crap just like the rest of her MAGA friends.

My question is, if there is a police report does it become public? Every day people get threatened and it shows up on local crime reports.

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.

Because there is no substance.

So you’re fine with even more waste in FCPS while actual needs go unmet? Got it.

Wouldn’t be anything to read if only FCPS didn’t give her anything to write about.

Would you rather just get another email from Reid saying she has full confidence in all the administrators that are violating rules and going over budget all while taking more $ than teachers are getting if the teachers weren’t let go?

NP.

To the PP:

I find it highly suspect you are attacking not only a female journalist, but a woman of color. Your motives here appear both racist and sexist.

Maybe it’s Asra who needs a security detail to protect her from crazy people like the ones in this thread.

Shouldn’t she have a social worker protect her instead of armed security?
Social worker salaries are much less than armed security, and according to FCPS, more effective.
