Hold FCPS Accountable: Taxpayers demand Investigation, Transparency, and Reparations

How can there only be 781 signatures on this petition?

Smart people know that change.org positions hold no water? Not trying to be rude, but there is a reason that the pro-Hayfraud change.org petition has nearly 1,300 signatures...they're a bunch of knuckle-draggers.

They wanted the “noise” around Hayfield football to go away so they claimed they did an investigation then announced there was nothing to see here.
The bullying of student athletes was not investigated and several of the residency checks came back with reports of still unverified addresses and the that information was withheld from the final reports. This has all been a cover up that they would have got away with if it wasn’t for the county football coaches continuing to push for the truth.

...and select Hayfield faculty and staff going to folks like Asra. Some of them do deserve credit.

What kind of bullying? Physical, verbal, …? Just curious.

The harassment of student-athletes has been verified and reported to the police at the time of their occurrence.

The bullying most likely wasn’t illegal but sure as hell was unethical and grounds for removal, but not at Hayfield.

The entire team has been harassed this entire season.

Once principal pulled team knew this would be what happens but I really wish had loved to discovery and depositions to hear the families just hand over more proof to VHSL. No amount of attorney prep would keep them from tripping up.

Reid turned on them. Their attorney couldn’t represent them if they no longer had the support of FCPS.

I'm pretty sure bullying is against FCPS code of conduct. And as a Gen X'er, the bar for bullying is considerably lower than when I was in high school.

Yes, I work at Hayfield.

Not everyone at Hayfield is of the mindset that this was proper. Hayfield is so much more than this football team and athletics department. We are a very diverse school, no ethnicity group makes up a majority of the population and we have over 50 different home languages spoken by our students and staff.

We are not perfect, but we are not defined by this scandal either.

"We are not perfect, but we are not defined by this scandal either."

Sadly, you are now. It is unfortunate you do not realize that. And frankly you deserve to be. The entire staff is complicit in this. You all knew what was going on, and so many of you decided to do nothing. Had even a small minority spoken up from the outset this all could have been avoided. Shame on you.

Speaking as a teacher at a school where multiple staff have formally complained about the principal and the principal was even investigated by the county and reinstated, this isn’t close to being true. You can see how a district will cover up for their own people- Hayfield staff could’ve complained and voiced this plenty and been completely ignored by the district. That’s how it works.

Not sure what happened in your school but the Hayfield staff is complicit and let this happen. If these alleged Federal crimes of homeless students did happen, then the reporting could have gone outside of the school system where these things are properly handled. Short of that, the way things are shaking out, an anonymous tip to the media or VHSL could have moved things along sooner rather than later.

You're an absolute idiot who clearly can't read and comprehend. School staff DID speak about about the transfers and paid dearly. Since you are such a know-it-all you tell me the name of the school admin who was removed from their job. The school principal with the Super present said anyone who brought up the issue would be reprimanded. Again since you are a know-it-all, tell me about this meeting where this happened.

You are so full of shite. People also complained to VHSL. If you actually didn't have your head up your butt you would know about all of this. Prove to me that you do.

Wow, pivoting to ad hominem attacks from the jump. Well, when you don't have a leg to stand on, I guess that is all you can do. As was noted by a previous commenter, any teacher who went to their supervisor or HR about this didn't know what they were doing. They should have done what at least a few did from the jump and gone to Asra and other journalists as anonymous sources. That's how you get things done in systems that aren't meritocracies; and no, the public education system is not a meritocracy for those employed within it. So, in short, yes, any teacher that didn't take intelligent steps to make sure word got out about this was complicit. I look forward to your rambling response with yet more ad hominem attacks.

I don't ramble and you're still full of shite. How do you know people didn't complain? How do you know people didn't go to various journalists? You don't know jack.

They're named in the Fairfax Times article or in the documents linked there.

This poster seems unable to.hàve an intelligent conversation without resorting to profanity, attempting to hide it by using "shite" instead of "shit." This isn't the first post they have done it.

All students were impacted since the Dir of student svces was forced out in April/May as retaliation for speaking out. That is right after course selection and midst of confirming course selections for all students in HS except for graduating seniors. Also beginning of Master Schedule for the following year - it is crucial for the counselors to be able to get guidance and support from the Dir of student services. Typically a principal would never release the DSS from January on for another position in the county. In this situation, it was not a voluntary transfer

GTFOH! Almost 200 teachers & 10+ counselors and all are AFRAID of repercussions?!? FCPS HR must be the scum of the earth if that is the case! Why even work at a place like that? I'm beginning to think that FCPS staff just likes to complain about anything & everything with their heads in their butts! WEAK & COMPLICIT!

^^^^^ This.

It is absolutely crazy than rather than be angry at the coaches, ADs, principal and families who coordinated this and perpetrated it that you’re mad at uninvolved staff and faculty who somehow didn’t mount an insurrection and achieve change from within the organization despite having ZERO power. The superintendent was complicit, what the hell were the staff supposed to do in that case?

Agreed. No Change.org petition can take on the system of white supremacy. That’s not happening in Virginia.
