Same. Honestly the school’s apparent inaction when the father reached out to tell them about the death threats and the subsequent lack of disclosure and accountability is very troubling. If the allegations are true I certainly wouldn’t want her as a Principal anywhere in FCPS.

We don't really know that. The dad said he talked to the family liaison. That is really all we know.

We need to know if there was an investigation to determine if the current process was followed and if that process needs to be updated. That is a failure IMO of the principal and the district. There should have been an independent follow up with a report. Anything less is unacceptable.

Nothing was ever mentioned about it again in the news which is a sign it was looked into and nothing was found to substantiate his claim. I remember saying back then his statements were incredibly vague and tried to shift all the blame to the school when the crime happened at 9 pm off school property. I think he called the school at some point to discuss his worries but at no point do I believe it was ever as explicit as “my son is getting active death threats from this student at your school” and they did nothing. I need to go look up if they ever said if the person who shot him was even a Herndon high student.

Wow. Just wow. I’ve never seen more faulty logic than what is contained in your first sentence.

Here’s an article on the murder:

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/northern-virginia/possible-juvenile-suspect-identified-after-teen-shot-and-killed-in-herndon/4006869/?amp=1

According to the dad, the victim received death threats from classmates at Herndon High. Were they the ones that killed him? We don’t know because the alleged killers were juvenile and that info wasn’t reported. But we do have a credible claim that death threats were happening at the school.

Unlike you, I don’t dismiss the victim’s father’s account because it doesn’t fit my narrative. If what he said is true, which could be corroborated pretty easily with phone records, then someone should be held accountable at the school for the inaction. This transfer is possibly Fcps’s attempt to do that.

That death threats were happening at the school and there are credible allegations that the school ignored them and the kid was ultimately killed is a real problem. That it happened in my school district is unacceptable to me, and if I were in that pyramid my number one priority would be making sure that school is safe for all students, regardless of skin color. If the principal’s transfer is related to that course correction it is a positive step, but the school really needs a big shake up.

I’m really surprised that this has been swept under the rug and is not a bigger story. It’s really a scandal hiding in plain sight.

Reid and the School Board always try to sweep things under the rug. There is no one to make them accountable. Checks and balances do not exist for FCPS’ leadership, since they hold complete control.

This murder is no exception.

Explain how Reid and the school "swept" this under any rug? What magical powers do they have to prevent any local news organization from not covering this?

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, the obviousness of it is people don't care about the outcome and just care about the tragic news of a teenager getting shot and killed. No one cares about the follow up.

Someone was arrested, they are a minor, and so you can't find their name but the case is ongoing it seems and they haven't gone to trial. How did Reid "sweep" that under the rug?

Well, for starters, the email announcing the murder made it seem like a suicide. And since then, we’ve heard nothing. Nothing about ongoing threats and nothing about the incident.

So, textbook coverup.

This is a police matter. I agree that the information has been extremely sketchy. I understand that the suspect is a juvenile, but they can release information without releasing his identify.

I am no fan of the leadership in FCPS and know nothing about the principal. However, the interview with the dad and the reporter was also vague.
I feel very sorry for the family--but what is up with the landlord making them move?
What is up with not being sure your child is safe?

Why did he not go to the police? This was not a school issue.

Because all of the students attended Herndon and parent (who trusted the professional people) probably thought he would get some help from administration, SRO, school counseling...anyone. Sadly, a lot of hispanic parents are very reluctant to involve police.

A death threat is not someone saying they are going to beat you up after school. This is a law enforcement issue. But, you know that.

Tell me: if your child had a death threat who would you go to first?

I am also a white woman who attended American schools so my instincts would very different from an immigrant family who did not attend American schools and do not know the proper protocol. They rely on and trust the school and staff to help them. Unfortunately it sounds like it did not happen. Curious if the parent liaison reported the threats.

You do know that immigrants who do not speak English well are not necessarily dumb? You sound just a little bit ...

I agree. They are not dumb. They are trying navigate a system that is foreign to them. That is probably why they reached out to the parent liaison. Most likely this person speaks Spanish, and has helped before. This isn’t me being mean or racist. This is reality.

He would also know that police have people who speak Spanish. You cannot call any public number without being offered a Spanish option.
We know nothing about how this unfolded. All we know is what the dad told the reporter.

It is the principal of Cedar Lane, which is a small, special education high school with less than 100 kiddos. She was an AP at Madison before that.

They are typically looking within the same regions for replacements these days so in this case it’s a bunch of moves within Region 1.

Word on the street is that nobody knew about this ahead of time and she's being demoted by Gatehouse.

There's NOTHING TO REPORT, how the hell is that a cover up? You people are morons, desperately seeking a conspiracy theory because your brain can't process reality. There's nothing for FCPS to cover up because FCPS isn't involved. It's an outside the school murder. And if the accused person is a student then FCPS is going to provide information to the police, not YOU. Because you don't matter.

“Because you don’t matter” seems like a good slogan for the way they run FCPS. You sound just like the morons who think that students are the property, not the customer, of public schools.

You also seem willing to dismiss a student’s murder in the defense of the indefensible.

You think the world revolves around your petulant, juvenile and sophomoric demands. You're no more important than any other FCPS parent, and as it pertains to the murder of the student you are NOT entitled to any information.

I care about kids enough to not want them to be in dangerous situations. Seems like you are without morality. Your boundless defense of a corrupt system is so pathetic.

I think he called the school at some point to discuss his worries but at no point do I believe it was ever as explicit as “my son is getting active death threats from this student at your school” and they did nothing. I need to go look up if they ever said if the person who shot him was even a Herndon high student.

Wow. Just wow. I’ve never seen more faulty logic than what is contained in your first sentence.

Here’s an article on the murder:

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/northern-virginia/possible-juvenile-suspect-identified-after-teen-shot-and-killed-in-herndon/4006869/?amp=1

According to the dad, the victim received death threats from classmates at Herndon High. Were they the ones that killed him? We don’t know because the alleged killers were juvenile and that info wasn’t reported. But we do have a credible claim that death threats were happening at the school.

Unlike you, I don’t dismiss the victim’s father’s account because it doesn’t fit my narrative. If what he said is true, which could be corroborated pretty easily with phone records, then someone should be held accountable at the school for the inaction. This transfer is possibly Fcps’s attempt to do that.

That death threats were happening at the school and there are credible allegations that the school ignored them and the kid was ultimately killed is a real problem. That it happened in my school district is unacceptable to me, and if I were in that pyramid my number one priority would be making sure that school is safe for all students, regardless of skin color. If the principal’s transfer is related to that course correction it is a positive step, but the school really needs a big shake up.

I’m really surprised that this has been swept under the rug and is not a bigger story. It’s really a scandal hiding in plain sight.

Reid and the School Board always try to sweep things under the rug. There is no one to make them accountable. Checks and balances do not exist for FCPS’ leadership, since they hold complete control.

This murder is no exception.

Explain how Reid and the school "swept" this under any rug? What magical powers do they have to prevent any local news organization from not covering this?

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, the obviousness of it is people don't care about the outcome and just care about the tragic news of a teenager getting shot and killed. No one cares about the follow up.

Someone was arrested, they are a minor, and so you can't find their name but the case is ongoing it seems and they haven't gone to trial. How did Reid "sweep" that under the rug?

Well, for starters, the email announcing the murder made it seem like a suicide. And since then, we’ve heard nothing. Nothing about ongoing threats and nothing about the incident.

So, textbook coverup.

No, people READ it like it was a suicide.

There's NOTHING TO REPORT, how the hell is that a cover up? You people are morons, desperately seeking a conspiracy theory because your brain can't process reality. There's nothing for FCPS to cover up because FCPS isn't involved. It's an outside the school murder. And if the accused person is a student then FCPS is going to provide information to the police, not YOU. Because you don't matter.

“Because you don’t matter” seems like a good slogan for the way they run FCPS. You sound just like the morons who think that students are the property, not the customer, of public schools.

You also seem willing to dismiss a student’s murder in the defense of the indefensible.

You think the world revolves around your petulant, juvenile and sophomoric demands. You're no more important than any other FCPS parent, and as it pertains to the murder of the student you are NOT entitled to any information.

I care about kids enough to not want them to be in dangerous situations. Seems like you are without morality. Your boundless defense of a corrupt system is so pathetic.

DP here. It is also questionable morality to blame people who had no knowledge of this. We do not know if the principal was told about the threats.
It is extremely sad. I'm sorry for the family. I'm sure the dad also feels guilt for not doing something substantive about the situation.

I don't think the incident regarding the student's death this past fall is the only reason she is being removed. There have been SO many other missteps and blatant mismanagements she has been responsible for in the past few years. Some have been public like her complete incompetence at rolling out standards based grading to other incidents that have not been public at all.

Same. Honestly the school’s apparent inaction when the father reached out to tell them about the death threats and the subsequent lack of disclosure and accountability is very troubling. If the allegations are true I certainly wouldn’t want her as a Principal anywhere in FCPS.

We don't really know that. The dad said he talked to the family liaison. That is really all we know.

We need to know if there was an investigation to determine if the current process was followed and if that process needs to be updated. That is a failure IMO of the principal and the district. There should have been an independent follow up with a report. Anything less is unacceptable.

I never blamed her because FCPS appears to have swept the murder under the rug and hasn’t released any info on the incident, so we don’t know what her role was regarding the father’s outreach. Is it your view that asking questions about the principal’s role is morally questionable? Because that’s an incredibly dense take.

NP. These posts are all tainted by the perception that it’s largely the same Langley poster(s) yet again feigning outrage over the treatment of any incident involving HHS.

Surprised you aren’t going with the Jewish space laser conspiracy. Do you think the Langley parents were responsible for her being removed?

The rapidity of your response is confirmatory.
