Absolutely! Vote Republican our kids education is on the line!

Because everyone knows Republicans are all about education?

I associate the entire party with graft, grifters, corruption, con-men, cons and ex-cons!

It’s laughable really.

Republicans will do nothing but find a way to steal your tax dollars. They won’t even bother hiring people to fluff positions.

They will just stick their hands directly into the coffers and steal. What they can’t steal they will just destroy!

In the past I associated the national party with war-mongering, but that’s bipartisan these days.

As to FCPS, I associate a more republican dominated/representative school board with the days when FCPS was higher performing, as a matter of historical fact.

So little stewardship of taxpayer money, in a system with declining academics and overcrowded buildings. The grift is real.

You make a good point. And provide a good argument that rather than hiring. first speakers is at most a fancy bandaid

Or perhaps it was to orient people to the need for policy and practice change. None the less guest speakers are expensive. All guest speakers of renown are expensive.

But hiring King represents a real commitment and definitive step in the right direction. She is also a bargain in as you have to expressed.

Thanks for your perspective and you are are correct hiring someone to do the really important job of focusing on real change is in balance a positive and is most certainly a step in the right direction and hiring a person to this full time position, rather than the occasional guest speaker, is a sound fiscal move.

Thanks for the corollary.

Sounds like Nardos King's response. :D

Focus on academics and they won’t have to pay grifters to paper over poor performance.

Tell it to the Chief Academic Officer, his name is Sloan Presidio, send him an email to express your frustration with how the school isn't meeting your expectations for your child academically, that's his area of concern. If he is not doing a good job, then let him know. He needs to and wants to hear from you. Stay focused and repeat after me. The Chief Academic Officer is named Sloan Presidio, "He oversees the following departments: Instructional Services, Special Services, and School Improvement and Supports." That is pulled straight from FCPS' website. If your focus is academics, he is your guy.

Further, "As the chief academic officer, Presidio focuses on increasing student academic achievement while continuing to expand equity in education, which means having systems in place to ensure that every student has the opportunity to realize their full potential. " If your little one isn't achieving because they've been cudgeled in the head by equity initiatives, then he wants to hear about it since, prior to Ms. King's hiring, he was in charge, he is still in charge of equity and academics.

Or send Ms. King a letter or email and let her know how her predecessor failed miserably, and you want to make sure she does a better job. Tell how what you think she needs to know to do her job. I'm sure she welcomes your feedback. You have an official person to complain to now. So have at it

But don't be so hard on Mr. Presidio I am sure he tried his best, he was no doubt stretched-thin, Chief Academic Officer is a squishy big title, and no doubt he's made mistakes, did you know he was instrumental in developing the Covid Distance Learning Program, and we all know to hear you tell it, how well that went. It's no wonder that he practically brought down the entire system with his equity works. Well, don't worry. FCPS is finally committed to doing it right. Ms. King has a heavy lift, but I've no doubt she is up to the task. Be thankful that FCPS is finally giving the equity mission the attention and expertise it deserves.

But I repeat, if your issue is academics contact Mr. Presidio he's your man ask him about his plan! Here is his phone number 571-423-4010. Give him a call. I'm sure he wants to hear from you.

You have too much time on your hands. And Nardos King is still a prime example of the bloat that allows a principal at the county’s lowest-performing high school to “fail up” into a cushy Gatehouse job.

Before being hired by FCPS, Nardos King was an assistant superintendent of the worst performing school district of Maryland.

And you think her job as assistant superintendent was the reason or somehow that low performance was a reflection of her? Ok.

Of course not. An assistant superintendent can't take all the credits. Now that FCPS hired her for equity, she must be very successful in making students perform equally poor regardless of their race, gender and social economic status.

Cute.
FCPS hired her to make sure mechanisms are in place to help each and every child can achieve, "regardless of their race, gender and social economic status" as you say. Not to ensure that they all do--just that they have access to achievement pathways.

Put all the trailers in the high SES areas, where every child benefits from unearned white/Asian privilege. It works in McLean. They won’t even vote for change.

Every time a mom's for liberty troll make a post, a person in FX registers as a Democrat. These posts don't do what they're intended to do.

Every time I see "moms of liberty," which I had never heard of btw before this forum, I think of how progressive Democrats want to shut down conversation, the goal is sell-censorship, a fear of being labeled any of the many things that could get you cancelled. So, call someone MAGA or moms of liberty, the worst of the worst.

Instead of posting what you posted, why don't you actually question the person about what they posted: The issue the person raised is an equity officer can make more than a teacher with a PhD can ever make and implied is the idea of what this say about what we value, a highly-skilled teacher vs an equity officer.

Any one in admin will more more than a teacher, as shared 2 pages ago. I value both positions. I don't control the pay scale.

Even if it will be equally bad, just like what she achieved in Baltimore county school district.

We are humans with biases and having a person who is accountable for looking at a large education system through this lens in appropriate.

Our ES has 2 Assistant principals. That’s $300K in waste in one ES.

One ES has 3 principals total. That’s $500K in salaries just in the front office. Such redundancy. This is what people really need to be complaining about. This is tax payer money not going to direct education.

What an ignorant quote. Assistant Principals perform the vital work of maintaining discipline, supervision and at the Elementary level handling all testing. They often divide responsibilities by grade level or content so they are not redundant positions. They hire the teachers and evaluate them. Principals are responsible for the big picture and budget items but the AP's do a lot of the day to day work that families would see. If you have kids in the schools, you know the AP's are the ones that are calling with the issues and handling your emails and requests. They also work 11-12 month contracts as opposed to the 10 month teacher contracts which often accounts for the salary difference.

The amount of AP's is dictated by the size of the population of the school. so each AP is responsible for dealing with hundreds of families and dozens of teachers. And they are not new positions, they have been around since I attended FCPS in the 80's. But people couldn't spout off nonsense about them on anonymous forums and call their work "wastes" in the past.

Obviously, someone in an admin job wrote this.

You could probably buy each student text books for that money.

Some schools actually have more than one assistant principal! It boggles the mind.

How many books could that buy? How much extra salary could be paid to teachers. Nutritious and tasty hot lunches, cooked by cooks in a real kitchen. Extra classroom space. Extra teachers, smaller class sizes.

Multiply this by the 100s of elementary schools in the county.

The redundancy is a significant sum of wasted tax dollars. Outrageous as remember we are talking about ES.

But keep distracting yourselves with the one position. Because you think you found a good wedge. It’s a drop in the bucket is what it is. The real waste isn’t hard to find.

It’s in the hundreds of redundant positions within FCPS.

You sound ridiculous. My ES school would not function without the three administrators. Why you ask because it's all day behaviors and parents ignoring it so schools have to deal with it. You want to be mad about waste at Gatehouse fine but stop with the schools-we honestly need more staff in these buildings.

Forgot to add.... I'm a teacher not an admin

I’m wondering who the PPs are who thing APs aren’t necessary! Do they even have kids? Schools wouldn’t function without AP support. Heck, my school had vice principals when I was in k-12 decades ago. These aren’t some sort of newfangled, made up positions! I say we need more staff in schools and fewer at central office. And Nardos King does nothing of use and would be a awesome place to start.

Explain how that works. My kid attends a diverse middle school. There are kids getting in fights in the hall way and constantly disrupting class. It seems like we're doing a great job of ensuring those kids have pathways. The other kids who have to deal with it don't seem to matter at all to FCPS

Interesting concern troll. This is a former assistant superintendent with probably 25+ years in the system who moved into a new role. The salary is high, yea, but seems more based on seniority than being role-specific.

Administrators generally earn more than teachers. We can probably agree that’s wrong, but I suspect that’s not what this is about for you. Rather, you have a bug up your butt about the letters D, E, and I.

Thank the all-democrat School Board and Dr. Reid for this sort of waste.

Time for a return to focus on academics in FCPS. Vote republicans onto the Board.

Book banners? Like hell I will.

Don’t let Republicans near our schools.
