Doesn’t mean she’s actually drawing from something substantive. The most she might have in retirement is ~20 years. Definitely not 25. People will use the term “retire” to mean they are leaving the profession.

Do you know she’s 45? If she started at 22 as a teacher, she’s probably 47/48 and just hit 25 years.

She said she graduated from FCPS in 1996.

So 18 in 1996 plus 27 years is 45.

I read that to read that she started her career with FCPS AND she was also an alumnus. I find it hard to believe that she got her bachelors and doctorate while working full-time with FCPS.

Real dedication by a caring and irl professional principal … would it have been too much to ask for him to have stayed on another 9 months once he started the school year?

Sheesh - he sure couldn’t wait to get out of FCPS I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Doesn’t matter then- she got her 25.

Admin are DONE. They are leaving ASAP.

No one can blame them. This poor woman can't even retire in peace people feel like they have the right to know all of her business. FCPS parents are the worst.

It’s a great example of why FCPS is foolish to offer a separate pension. They’re getting taken advantage of by these people. They’ve authorized a raise and salary extension for administrative. Hope that helps with retention.

Yeah, I read that wrong.

This plan went away in 2000. If you think FCPS just started offering this retirement plan to people in their late 40s/early 50s, you don’t know very much about anything.

And you’re actually suggesting that FCPS shouldn’t offer a decent retirement and that teachers and admin should be stuck with just the state retirement system??? Go pound sand. Again, you don’t seem to be a deep thinker.

You didn’t seem to understand anything I wrote. Obviously this plan wasn’t offered when people were in their 40s and 50s. It clearly wasn’t a smart choice since people are collecting retirement and a full salary from elsewhere.

And FCPS still offers ERFC which none of the neighboring systems offer. They shouldn’t be offering this extra pension since people aren’t staying loyal to the district. Why should FCPS offer something no one else is offering?

I stayed for 30 plus in FCPS. And I taught students not to generalize from anecdotal evidence. Some people may not be “loyal to the district” but many are and have been.

And Dr. Floyd did get her advanced degrees while working full-time for FCPS, as did I.

LOTS of school staff get their doctorates while working full time. Some of them do it while having babies, caring for aging parents and more.

To attract employees, that’s pretty obvious.
