No. But we do hire— or fire in 2023– the people who hire the Superintendent. If she’s a mess, the Board gets voted out (which will probably happen anyway), we buy out her contract and we do this again.

Democracy.

I really hope this happens if they appoint Reid or someone similar as the next superintendent. It's such an FU to parents who have been pleading for some balance when it comes to FCPS decision-making to appoint a superintendent who is effectively the carbon copy of someone like Melanie Meren or Abrar Omeish in terms of a total embrace of far-left politics/policy.

How large do you think that group is?

Exactly. The Open FCPS group (and whatever their new name is) is a very loud minority in Fairfax. Most of us like books, librarians, teaching full history, and not stigmatizing groups of students.

Ignore them at your peril - they brought you Youngkin. He needed their votes even in blue Fairfax.

Less than a third of Fairfax voted for Mong Youngkin. Fairfax didn’t fall for his propaganda.

I know lots of people who voted for him and who are happy he’s governor. And extremely happy with the no masks required rule.

You were no doubt claiming McAuliffe would cruise to victory as well.

Hell. No. “Mama Bears” need not apply. Although at this point, they may be the only willing candidates.

Would one of the “Mama Bears” focus on academics and facilities rather than the woke nonsense that’s defined the last two years of Brabrand’s tenure?

If so, sign her up!

Literally, the only things "woke" related the last two years that have even remotely affected me are from the right. They are the ones banning books, focusing time/energy/money removing teaching of a concept in the schools that was never taught, and frothing at the mouth like rabid raccoons at SB meetings.

You have your head in the sand. The FCSB sides with the teachers unions over parents and kids. The FCSB is a national embarrassment.

“Mama Bears” are hysterical loons pulling resources AWAY from academics.

Yes, “Mama Bear” psychos hate teachers and “teachers unions”.

Mama Bears are the least of our problems.

Mama Bears scare away decent candidates. And pull away resources from academics.

Their hysteria hurts our kids.

If they would only just butt out and let the schools have complete control, there would be no issues. Just pay us and shut up

Just shut up about fake issues, attention-seeking RWNJs.

My guess is that she withdrew when the cat was out of the bag that she was potentially leaving her current district. I would think her county didn't know she was interviewing elsewhere, and now she's lost trust there. Without a guarantee of the FCPS job, she had no choice but to withdraw and recommit to her current employer.

It’s so awful that the NAACP released the names of the candidates. I feel bad for her having to make amends with her current district just because the NAACP was so inappropriate. If for some reason they felt they needed to make a public statement based on unauthorized information, they should have been general in their concerns and not share the names of the finalists.

Hmmmm maybe involving a bunch of “special interest groups” and entrusting them with confidential information about the finalists wasn’t a great idea.

There weren’t special interest groups on the interviewing panel! You completely missed the point. The NAACP was mad they weren’t included so sabotaged the process.

More specifically, this woman is the problem: https://wtop.com/fairfax-county/2021/04/fairfax-co-s-naacp-education-chair-on-building-an-anti-racist-school-system/

“I work in a race space. I talk about race all day long. I wake up in the morning, I talk about race. I talk about race all day long until I go to bed, and I wake up the next day, and I do it again,” Hampton said.

And yet she sent her daughter to Langley High. LOL.

Thanks. One I must have missed.

The next Superintendent must be from the Mid Atlantic Region. Dr . Brabrand will be missed.
