I keep hearing that Dr. Hutchings the ACPS superintendent has a book deal. Is this true or just a crazy rumor circulating?

Well, this link goes to a book published in 2011, and Hutchings isn't one of the authors. I think the person(s) who claimed that, were confused by an event on August 5th where he and another person (Dr. Reed) with a book recently published/coming out soon, were discussing the book, as well as ACPS. Thus, I have seen no mention anywhere, other than a comment on this forum, that he has an upcoming book.

He talked about it at one of the meetings last year. The working title was something like "How to Build an Anti-Racist School."

Will he mention sending his kid to private in person school while denying school to all the less privileged kids in public? That could be a good chapter.

Actually a better chapter would be "How to Deal with Racists and Bigots Who Bully You and Your Child" when you are school superintendent. As a follow-up chapter he can write on "How Racists and Bigots Raise Their Children to Be Bullies" and use y'all as his examples. Then he can include pictures of all y'all as part of the Dictionary of the terms at the end of the book.

She went to BI for the same reason all kids go to private, her grades were bad. Y’all.

I am not going to stop my critiques of Hutchings just because I am going to be subject to the knee jerk response that I am a racist for daring to do so. Virtual school last year was a disaster that disproportionately harmed students of color and special needs students. In the lead up to this school year, Hutchings has neither been proactive in ensuring the students will be safe (slow adoption of mask and vaccination mandates / no creative solutions to make lunch safe) this fall nor spelled out how the learning loss and emotional toll of virtual learning will be addressed.

On the special needs side, just yesterday Terry Werner sent out a newsletter discussing a focus on addressing the pandemic effects of learning loss / emotional harm but it claimed ACPS’s position is that this all can be accomplished in just nine weeks and I am not sure how or when this was communicated to schools (it was not mentioned at all in the pre-school year meeting with my child’s team specified in his IEP).

What do you think he has done for ACPS that is good? I am seriously asking. I don't care where he send his kids, but I don't see anything positive that he has accomplished for my kids' schools, and I'm unhappy with the way he has handled issues arising out of the pandemic. How does that make me racist and a bully? Am I supposed to like the way that he has performed his job just because he is black?

You’re not going to win this one. If you don’t praise Hutchings you’re a racist. It’s that simple in PP’d mind.

I’m sorry you took that link seriously
