Nah, we're good here. But the schools do gobble up a lot of property taxes in case you haven't noticed. Cut the dead weight (illegals) and FCPS will be doing a lot better. |

Well take it up with your congressperson because it’s federal law that even undocumented students must be educated. |

They wouldn’t need to be educated if they weren’t here to begin with. Deportation is the solution. Of course the governor seems to want all illegals to remain in VA. |

Crying about federal law and bringing up a governor who runs a state as if it’s her fault… what a clown , a racist clown to boot! |

Who's the clown? Racist? Europeans should not be allowed into this country without being vetted, Asians should not be allowed in this country without being vetted, Africans should not be allowed in this country without being vetted, and Latin Americans should not be allowed in this country without being vetted. Those who are allowed in need to behave themselves or be sent back. But here you are, defending the ability of a guy who is sexually assaulting kids to stay here. Is there no moral low point you won't hit in order to advance your party? |

Agreed. FCPS has no accountability for administrators who don’t do their job. This happens to so many students and their families for different reasons. It’s devastating to the families, and nothing happens to the principals. No consequences. No accountability. This is why people do not trust the schools and should have the right to private school, homeschool, and vouchers. |

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Principal should lose her job. It doesn’t take an “investigation” to see she lied to the parent body on her email, as well as re-traumatizing the victims. Regardless of what happens to the perpetrator, the principal has failed. [/quote]
Are you really still holding on to the idea that the principal wrote that letter? FCPS writes the letters, or at least the important parts, to the community whenever there is an incident like this. [/quote] Who is “FCPS”? Reid? An attorney? The principal let it go out under her name knowing it libeled the victims. For that she should be fired. If others participated in drafting a letter which lied to parents they should similarly go. [/quote] I don’t think it would be surprising to most people to discover that attorneys or communications teams write or edit letters that go out under a principal’s name in legal matters like this. Also, the idea that a principal “let” something go out is laughable. When you work for an organization or a company, unfortunately, you send what you are told to send. Any principals or former principals willing to speak up on this? Also, can someone help me understand why you think a principal would cover something like this up? There is no possible way a person who cares about students and also knows that they could lose their job would knowingly allow someone to hurt the kids we are there to protect. It doesn’t pass the common sense test, as much you might want to believe it. [/quote] Most people with any moral compass or value of ethics, would resign (or report to superintendent, or police) if their employer told them to lie about criminal activity or activity that traumatizes and hurts children. Don’t choose to work FCPS if this is asked of you. |

This is just disbelief that anyone would know this without reporting it right away. [/quote] I truly believe these administrators want parents to believe that school is a safe place and that FCPS handles things appropriately. Yes, they are in denial and want to continue with this facade. It’s easier than dealing with addressing the real problems related to safety, discipline, mental health, inadequate staffing and security. |

There is a wide range of EL learner status- levels 1-10 based on their assessments. Many just mived to the states or have no English exposure outside of school of have disabilities. They cannot read or write or speak English, and require significant support from the 1 gen ed teacher in the room. Some ELS (like level 6-7), are more fluent with lore comprehension and require less support. |

And, some have not had much schooling at all. |

I do think people know that it is not easy anymore thanks to district policies to suspend or expel students, which means it is very possible that this kid was referred for other concerning behaviors many times yet allowed to remain in school because the “discipline matrix” didn’t allow for them to be removed. This becomes especially murky when the student is a minority, an EL student, or a special education student because districts have data that shows those groups disproportionately receive higher rates and higher severity of discipline and schools have to ROBUSTLY document and justify disciplinary action for them. These things can lead to situations where students are reported, written up, known to be “frequent flyers” AND remain in schools where, unfortunately, their actions can then escalate into things like this. |

Which is why we need a school specifically for ELA studetns who are not able to join their grade level classes. We are doing a disservice to the ELA students by placing them in an environment without proper supports. Having a dedicated school that pools all the resources needed to support these students would go a long way to helping them succeed. Instead we place Elemenatary aged kids with no English and no formal schooling into their age based grade level and claim that the immersion will be useful for them, so the kid is trying to lern a new language and catch up on schooling that they may not have received at the same time. We place teens in schools were they cannot interact with much of the student population due to language and education gaps and expect them to learn and not act our due to frustrations associated with moving, lack of a peer group, and frustration at not being ale to communicate with their peers. FCPS system is broken. It is more important to look right, high level of incluson and diversity, then to meet the needs of the students. So the ELA students struggle and there are impacts on learning in ES, as classes have to adjust to having a number of ELA learners in the regular classroom who need to be caught up on everything, and in MS/HS as kids who don't speak English and are years behind in education are frustrated, which impacts behavior. |
