I guarantee you she didnt spare a thought to those seniors.

I would say that she is absolutely focused on keeping her job and performing damage control based on the 3 letters to the community she has sent out recently. Someone in an earlier post did an AI analysis of one of the letters and it was a pretty funny analysis. I’m too lazy to scroll back to find it.

The weird thing is this wasn't even a close case. Even back in spring it was clear rules were being broken. So for Reid to come down so firmly on the "wrong" side when every non-Hayfield fcps family and staff disagree is crazy.

I doubt Ms. Reid personally cared about the band, cheer and dance team’s senior night.

Why wouldn't she care about those students? What's in it for her to only care about the football team?

We are in this mess because there are people even now that say they don’t blame Reid. Reid is failing 180,000 kids and some parents are allowing this failure. It was okay to engage in gaslighting and lies to back a single football team at a single school and it is low ok to double down on lies and deception and gaslighting even if means a single school get an additional senior night. Ridiculous.

What's the rock and the hard place? I don't see that at all. In fact, I truly don't understand her motivation. Can someone explain it to me? Why did she go along and put her neck out to defend a bunch of people clearly cheating? What was in it for her? Just why??

Reid was hired not that long ago by a 12-0 Democratic School Board who saw in her someone equally committed to their equity agenda and commitment to progressive values. Do you really think she would put that on the line by challenging a Black principal and a Black coach at a school already known only for its athletic (basketball) rather than athletic success? No, she acted entirely how she thought a progressive White woman woukd act under the circumstances by defending Hayfield and refusing to conduct a real investigation. It is very much the bigotry of low expectations on display.

She needs to resign or be fired. She is a completely incompetent waste of taxpayer money.

BS. She behaved like a closeted white supremacist throughout this entire ordeal. She did no favors for the Black staff or the football team at Hayfield.

Team with only the race card to play strikes again. The fact this is the only card that continues to be played speaks volumes.

White supremacy was a thing years ago, but today's racism is different. The cheating by Overton and his people makes them victims, but the white preppy AD had to flee the country to avoid hanging. Welcome to 2024.

You are actually saying that now in 2024, racism against black people is a thing of the past and the new victim of racism is the poor white male? You are absolutely delusional. White privelege on full display right here.

DP. From what I’ve heard, many in the Hayfield community do not think very highly of the director of activities who abruptly resigned and fled overseas.

That’s an accurate statement on him. Ive got a buddy who works there and AD was unpopular. But the school
Principal is also pretty unpopular and runs a good old boys type network too

He’s not a good old boy so that’s not possible.

Hey look, someone commenting who doesn’t fully understand the terminology being used…

Yeah you. A good old boy is a racist southerner. He can’t be racist because he’s not part of the dominant society. He could support the racists, but he can’t be one.

If you are saying he’s is a black bigot, he could be that and he could be prejudice towards some other group. He could be a bigot, but I haven’t heard any evidence to support that.

A good ol boy is not a racist southerner.

Yes, damage control for her. Someone posted Reid spent $200,000 on image consultant. Is that the firm she had used previously that is her friend or is that separate vendor?

Anyone have proof that she spent that on an image consultant? That seems unlikely to be true. She’s a school superintendent not a movie star.

So can we all then just agree she has lost complete confidence of entire community. Here we have view she is “ progressive White woman” and that she is awful. Then have view is a “ closeted white supremacist” and is awful. So the one thing all can agree is awful.

That analysis was spot on. Absolutely picked up on her typical way of speaking.

Agree. For those that don’t read, worth finding. Focused on her defensive and deflecting language.

Is this the new narrative the Hayfraud families are using, that Reid is now the White supremacist? This is an interesting straw to grasp at.

In fact, the Hayfield letter to VHSL defended five at the same address as evidence of the expensive nature of northern Virginia housing.

Wait, let me see if I understand this. Over the summer, people in the know at Hayfield request an investigation of a large number of potentially ineligible transfers. Instead of setting up an impartial outside investigation, FCPS decides to carry out the invesigation themselves. Of the 30 kids, they conduct a surprise drop-in of a sample to see if they are actually living at their alleged address. And it turns out that the majority of this small number of kids who got "verified" were the five kids at the same address?!

This is beyond cynical. This isn't even following the letter of the law,

Correct.

Hayfield referred 14 students to Gatehouse for residency checks in May 2024. Gatehouse didn’t complete the residency checks until August 26, 2024.
Reid announced on August 27 that the players were cleared. On August 29, the three skeptical school board members asked for an outside investigation but were voted down.

The Hayfield letter to VHSL says “shared housing is leveraged as an affordable living option for some families, particularly in urban areas with high cost housing…shared housing is not evidence that any family intends for their residency to be less than permanent and thus is not evidence of violation of the Transfer Rule (28A-7).”

Dont fall for it. This is what Reid wants everyone to focus on and the narrative strategy of her 3 letters- for everyone to focus on residency. The residency does NOT matter, but if she can get everyone fighting over that, she hopes they focus on the only 2 things that do matter and that are slam dunks - the violations for recruiting and spirit of game.

Reid’s new narrative strategy is to continue to mention the irrelevant eligibility and now also say that the college landscape changing so VHSL rules don’t work anymore. She is running FCPS by picking the rules she wants to agree or ignore with at the time.

She should have no vote of confidence from any family in FCPS that’s not the parent of the Hayfield starting football team. The time and $ on this mess that she could and should have stopped long before is staggering. Parents of students who are having problems other than whether they can play a football game, how heard do you feel right now? Thanks Reid and School Board for putting one principal’s football dream above everything else.

Can you explain what you mean about the eligibility being irrelevant? And the college landscape changing? How would that affect county residency rules?

It should impact residence rules and is another distraction, but idea is football now big business bc players can get $ beyond tuition. So coaches like Overton have their own businesses where they train kids (outside of school, but he has consistently been investigated for using school resources/facilities/$ for his own business). Some want to argue in name of equity that players should be able to transfer to whatever school want to play football wherever they want. Anything short of that is not equitable.

But again, THIS IS DISTACTION designed to gain sympathy for liars and cheaters.

Have fun enforcing any boundaries changes if make sports Wild West.

Overton has other side hustles in PWC. I don’t have the time to dig deep in it, but he is also allegedly associated with a business “TM Security LLC” opened by Justin Meehan - who apparently was an o-line coach at Freedom under Overton. I am not sure Meehan followed on to Hayfield as a coach, but he was most definitely on the sideline along with dozens of other adults who may or may not have been credentialed to access the field. It all may be on the up & up, who knows?

Reid picks and chooses the rules she wants to follow based on how she feels. It’s what she did here. It’s what she did for picking the boundary consultant- if recall that was where she didn’t follow proper procedures and used inaccurate information to guide School Board decisions for that too. This should concern everyone as this is not a one-time incident. It is pattern of behavior.

I don’t know that she hasn’t, but that number makes me think they are speaking about the board in 2020, which was before she was hired. The article about it didn’t come out til 2022, so who knows if they are currently doing the same or not. I’m inclined to think so, as there are quite a few of the same board members from 2020. Except I’m at a loss to explain how they could be handling it so poorly in that case. In 2020 they hired a firm to work on their image and with the intent to “mitigate controversy” and “protect the FCPS brand” by monitoring parents, teachers and students social media.

Yes, her actions are consistent. Pick and chose rules and lack of transparency. She didn’t and still doesn’t want to release report on Hayfield investigation. She don’t want to release report on National Merit and even went to court (further wasting taxpayer $) to hide the report on National Merit debacle.
