+1 I had thought these BS positions were starting to fall out of favor. I read an article about companies that have begun to move away from the whole DEI shtick and employees in those positions were trying to pivot to other things (human resources, etc.). It's beyond disgraceful that taxpayers are on the hook for their paychecks in the public schools. |
Ah yes! Paragraphs chock full of useless jargon. Remember - they promise to serve every student "by name and by need"! "Courageous conversations! Core purpose!" 🤮 "The chief equity officer supports and leads efforts by FCPS to align actions around the shared value of equity by expanding perspectives, creating the space for courageous conversations, leveraging and building upon strengths, helping all staff to understand the difference between symptoms and root causes, challenging the status quo, clarifying and focusing attention on core purpose, and ensuring that FCPS does all that it can to unlock the potential of each student." |
, DP. You must be joking. If Republicans were in control of the SB, these wasteful and useless positions would be cut. |
You must be the poster who can't stand to hear any diversity of OPINION and blames anything you don't like hearing about on this Moms of Liberty group you are fixated on. Grow up. In a democracy, we are allowed to express our criticisms. If you can't bear it, move along. DP |
+1 Some schools actually have more than one assistant principal! It boggles the mind. |
Our ES has 2 Assistant principals. That’s $300K in waste in one ES. One ES has 3 principals total. That’s $500K in salaries just in the front office. Such redundancy. This is what people really need to be complaining about. This is tax payer money not going to direct education. How many books could that buy? How much extra salary could be paid to teachers. Nutritious and tasty hot lunches, cooked by cooks in a real kitchen. Extra classroom space. Extra teachers, smaller class sizes. Multiply this by the 100s of elementary schools in the county. The redundancy is a significant sum of wasted tax dollars. Outrageous as remember we are talking about ES. But keep distracting yourselves with the one position. Because you think you found a good wedge. It’s a drop in the bucket is what it is. The real waste isn’t hard to find. It’s in the hundreds of redundant positions within FCPS. |
This is crazy. Why would they take stem school admissions and put it under equity officer? how was it structured before? |
"On average, EEO officers earn an annual salary of $91,521 per year" Why's FCPS paying $232k? |
Those are two different jobs. The article the PP posted is what he/she believes is the first step in becoming a CEqO. |

If Nardos King’s salary bothers you remember than FCPS was willing to pay Ibram Kendi more for an hour-long canned speech of “anti-racist” babble than they’ll pay her in a month.
So little stewardship of taxpayer money, in a system with declining academics and overcrowded buildings. The grift is real. |
You make a good point. And provide a good argument that rather than hiring. first speakers is at most a fancy bandaid Or perhaps it was to orient people to the need for policy and practice change. None the less guest speakers are expensive. All guest speakers of renown are expensive. But hiring King represents a real commitment and definitive step in the right direction. She is also a bargain in as you have to expressed. Thanks for your perspective and you are are correct hiring someone to do the really important job of focusing on real change is in balance a positive and is most certainly a step in the right direction and hiring a person to this full time position, rather than the occasional guest speaker, is a sound fiscal move. Thanks for the corollary. |
Yes, it boggles the mind how stupid some of you are. Do you even have jobs? |
Sounds like Nardos King's response. :D |
Pretty much, more money spent on administrative overhead instead of teacher salaries. I’m sure this will actually ad more administrative work for the teachers as well. Thanks, school board! |
What an ignorant quote. Assistant Principals perform the vital work of maintaining discipline, supervision and at the Elementary level handling all testing. They often divide responsibilities by grade level or content so they are not redundant positions. They hire the teachers and evaluate them. Principals are responsible for the big picture and budget items but the AP's do a lot of the day to day work that families would see. If you have kids in the schools, you know the AP's are the ones that are calling with the issues and handling your emails and requests. They also work 11-12 month contracts as opposed to the 10 month teacher contracts which often accounts for the salary difference. The amount of AP's is dictated by the size of the population of the school. so each AP is responsible for dealing with hundreds of families and dozens of teachers. And they are not new positions, they have been around since I attended FCPS in the 80's. But people couldn't spout off nonsense about them on anonymous forums and call their work "wastes" in the past. |
