[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It strikes me as largely performative.  Like she needs to be protected from people who’d attack her for her “courageous” positions when mostly people have just concluded she’s an ineffective, bumbling West Coast liberal who is not up to the task of managing a school system this large.

Her mismanagement of the Hayfield situation was bad enough, but when she started talking about turning every middle school in the county into a 6-8 school when it was obvious that was logistically impossible she lost even more people.  And her oversight of the boundary review could not be a bigger failure - hiring equally incompetent outside consultants and then getting people upset over what she called “drafty drafts” of boundary changes was a colossal error of judgment.  If they weren’t ready for prime time they should have just delayed coming out with proposals, not put out a bunch of garbage for public review.

At this point she needs to be rescued from her own stupidity, not protected from the people she’s supposed to be serving. [/quote]

Aren’t there stats more than 70% of all lottery winners spend/lose it all in less than 5 years? Current superintendent reminds me of this-coming from small school district, small budget and with so many less schools and kids and got to FCPS and saw “unlimited funds” and just spends. Really want someone to FOIA to find litigation cost increases.[/quote]

From a DCUM budget thread a while back:

“Look at documents posted by FCPS. Debate whatever else want to about FCpS, but just numbers the answer is yes. 2021 budget was 3 billion. 2026 is 4 billion. 1 billion increase in 5 years.”
