So this latest move is not solely Elaine's blunder - it is owned by the entire SB and superintendent. SB is really showing their colors on this one. Incredible.

I think Elaine gets a pass on this one. |
Oh wow - does anyone know how the coalition got those texts?? That is not FOIA-able, right? Id like to get more.... |
Nope - she and the board are supposed to defend and help kids, not petition the Supreme Court. She owns this decision as much as any of them. |
FCPS is a defendant in federal civil litigation brought on behalf of families challenging the change in the TJ admissions policy as a violation of their right to equal protection under the Constitution. FCPS had to turn the documents over during the pre-trial “discovery” phase of the lawsuit. The Coalition didn’t get these documents in response to a FOIA request. |
That’s a stretch. What’s left for other students if FCPS just capitulates in civil litigation and pays out huge settlements to every plaintiff who is a current or former student? And this lawsuit arose from an alleged assault two years before Tholen was elected. |
What about the victim? Tholen is here now, and can influence this decision. If there are victims, and FCPS is somehow at fault, they should pay up. I agree there are limits, but I dont think this passes the test. Agree to disagree. |
I guess what’s unclear from the article is what damages the plaintiff is seeking that can fairly be said to result from FCPS’s alleged failure to respond properly to a report, as opposed to from the assault itself. I don’t mind that FCPS is seeking to clarify its responsibility and not just subject itself to a potentially large jury verdict rendered by a jury that might be at least as confused. |
| Get Jason Miyares to announce an investigation into public corruption and civil rights violations by the FCPS School Board. |
| Not an Omeish fan but Tholen is just as bad and a bigger hypocrite. |
Can you back this up with verifiable information? |
| If there were diversity of ideas on the board FCPS wouldn’t be such a mess. The diversity on the current School Board all thinks alike, with one exception (McLaughlin). |

We need to add Doug Tyson to the list of people who need to be fired immediately. Here is his (and FCPS) opinion on military families.

Cohen and Frisch don’t do anything to address overcrowded high schools, but they are constantly asking for money. Talk about “pay to play”!

According to VPAP, Frisch has over $100K on hand and Cohen has $30K. So, I guess they both plan to run for something. |
