| Clearly she is worth it |
+1. There's no way she needs round the clock protection. There are plenty of gated communities in the area. She gets a housing allowance and can afford to live in one and install a top of the line security system on her salary. |
With a British accent! That bi*ch is a joke. |
“A source told 7News those security staffers, who were hired to protect Reid, had previously been "responsible for protecting schools" before being reassigned to the superintendent's security detail.” So does that mean she did hire Overton and people from his security company? |
If centerville is true the answer is not to hire 4 bodyguards but just step down as even the full confidence gave to football coaches will likely not be given back to gatehouse |
Exactly. The community must band together and demand her resignation. Every member of the board enabled this disaster. |
+1. There was no threat. I seems this plan was concocted many months ago. Certain people she likes may have been promised cushy jobs. |
| I support the need for her security guard. But the children need safety and security too, which FCPS does not provide. They don’t provide safe online/internet use or safe schools and bathrooms. |
| I think she may be about to do something deeply unpopular (or take the blame for something deeply unpopular) and that's why they think she needs security. Let's wait and see what it is. |
| Are these salaries guaranteed for any period of time or can these guys (I assume they'll all be guys) be let go if Reid is let go? |

Whoa. The Centreville abortion thing is wild. It looks like the actual events took place before Reid was superintendent, but what’s the timeline for the cover-up and when these things started coming out?
A good person knows when the jig is up and rather than exponentially increasing costs, they quit while they’re ahead. Reid doesn’t care to read the room that a lot of Fairfax County families are really struggling financially and with job loss right now and increasing costs while providing no value to students this is a slap in their faces. As pp wrote at length, she only gives lip service to listening to the opinions of others. It is so obvious. She has her mind made up and will do what she wants to do, thinking she has the moral high ground. Such arrogance. She needs to resign, stat. It’s over. |
| The head of security is former secret service and the police have already said their major threats unit has had to investigate threats against her, not sure what else people need here. Creepy to think what those threats must be to merit this .... |
I give as much consideration or increased respect for someone bearing a title of “ex secret service” as I do for “doctor” Michelle Reid. The title at least imo is just a rubber stamp to justify arbitrary decisions. |
| Will Reid's good squad be armed? Like police with side arms or concealed carry? |

MAGAs have public schools in their cross hairs. And they are aggressive, irrational nut jobs. Of course she needs protection.
