| Someone please name the 3 families that are suing. |

That is against DCUM policy. |

And the children deserve anonymity |

Regardless of policy, please don't ask that. I truly hope no one responds. I'm enraged at these parents, as is 99% of the Chesterbrook community, but the children of these families should be spared. |

| ^^ if there truly is ongoing litigation, then the parents names will inevitably be made public. Suing a school district is not a private affair. Surprised local news outlets have not picked up on this yet . . . |

A public lawsuit isn't . We deserve to know at least the charges against the school. |

+1 just checked the faqs and the pp is full of it - there is no dcum policy against naming plaintiffs in a lawsuit. jeff s. has indicated in prior posts that naming private individuals may be basically not cool if you are not willing to name yourself when you identify them, but there is no policy especially in this case where we are talking about parents (not the kids) who chose to make their parental gripes public by hiring a gun to sue the school, principal, and who knows who else. if they are willing to make these allegations in court and wreak havoc for an entire elementary school losing a beloved principal, then they own this one and should move if they don't like the publicity they are getting. |

YES--The families hired attorneys, special education advocates, and perhaps child psychologists.
NO--Apparently no lawsuits have been filed. But they were threatened to FCPS. NO--Apparently the issues do not warrant lawsuits, the threat of lawsuits, or anything even remotely close to that. YES--The parents should own up to their actions. Two of the 3-4? (whatever the number is, it's small) parents behind the lawsuits were at the FCPS/parent meeting on Tuesday, and they said NOTHING. Own it! And yes, perhaps these families should move. But regardless, NO--Their names should not be released. There are kids involved. Please. |

-1 Hey, whoever you are, just an FYI that shouting in ALL CAPS doesn't make your opinion/conclusion worth more ... just makes you seem unhinged. No one needs to name the two families involved, it is common knowledge and all one need do is ask a fellow parent in the parking lot or bus stop. Information like that does not remain secret very long, so it is immaterial whether anyone wants to post it here, which personally does not bother me if they did. |

| Surprised that such an affluent area would have parents forcing taxpayers to pay for services |

For whatever is going on behind the scenes with these parents that caused Fuqua to leave a top Fairfax County E. School on short notice it certainly is worthy of more investigation instead of all this gossip and speculation spreading this week.
WJLA may get a response on the record from these parents if they sat through the meeting silently. Maybe Fuqua's take as well. You can report what you know to their Tip Line and maybe they will run a local story so we get some accurate information on this: Submit Tip News we need to know? Send us your news tips.

My DC is in 4th G at Chesterbrook and came home yesterday talking about this. Any chance Mr. Fuqua can be supported into coming back? Parent Student rally of support?
Or is it already a lost cause? 
(Did not go to the meeting.) |

| what are the circumstances around the lawsuit? I cannot imagine what type of injustice occured as to warrant litigation against a school. I suppose this is to be expected in an area where seemingly 2/3 of residents are lawyers. |
