FCPS is hiring an executive protection agent

[Anonymous]

FCPS provides her a car, not a driver.

A security guard is not something taxpayers should be paying for.

This county is an absolute mess and it's the kids who are losing out.

Top schools in the nation. Shall we compare fairfax schools to a republican county in West Virginia? Won’t even be close.

Funny how you skipped right over DCPS, Richmond public schools, Baltimore public schools, etc.

What kind of car? She can't afford her own?

Otherwise it feels like part of a manufactured narrative that Reid and the School Board are courageous public servants just trying to do their jobs in the face of threats from rabid, uncivilized parents. The irony is that people absolutely want them to do their jobs, just with integrity and competence.

Former Attorney General Merrick Garland, identified parents who speak at school board meetings as threats serious enough to warrant FBI involvement.

That is true:

Garland was investigating an angry father whose daughter had been raped and the Loudoun County SB covered it up.

Garland’s FBI surveillance-order was nationwide, not just Loudoun.

Her decision to spend even more of the school budget on her own personal armed security detail only highlights her constant habit of poor decision making and overspending.

That’s funny because I still see her driving the same Subaru I first saw her in when she had Washington state tags on when she first started.

What’s your source for FCPS providing her a car?

From the job posting:

Requires exceptional flexibility; schedule will be unpredictable and driven by the superintendent's daily activities and security needs.

Must be available for irregular hours, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, travel, and extended on-call duty.

Travel? Travel?

It’s basically to have someone with her on all of her school visits, etc.

Wonder if it comes with a vehicle? Glorified chauffeur?

She’s already driven everywhere.

THIS IS A LIE. I’m a principal and my colleagues and I have all had her at our schools. No one drives Michelle Reid anywhere (except maybe her husband who accompanied her to a Saturday event at our school last fall). We have regular meetings with her and see her in the parking garage getting out of her car alone.

I don’t agree with everything she does, and you don’t have to either. But you don’t get to post straight-up lies.

As for a security person, I have no problem with it. The new head of security is a former Secret Service member. My guess is that this coming from him based on credible threats and/or incidents. I’ve done more “no trespass” letters in the last several years than in ten previous years combined. People are unhinged.

First I've ever heard about a husband.

You mean all the people on here who sit at home or at their jobs and anonymous post and then do nothing else?

Why on earth would you know what kind of car she drives? That’s so creepy.

Let me blow your mind some more: they have real live children and even grandchildren.

My bad. She gets a $12K car allowance each year in addition to her $400+K salary that gets the MSA increase all employees get (5% this year). Her contract was renewed early during the Hayfield debacle. https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=DABTQB787451

Or how about bright blue inner city schools?

Exactly. They always ignore the failing inner-city schools, in all Dem. districts.

A Subaru is a pretty easy car to identify. If you see her getting out of one from the driver’s side at a school event, you can assume it’s her car. What’s creepy about knowing that?
