Which of those functions actually apply to public schools? It’s not like APS or ACPS have any real financial driver for “the bottom line.” We’re not building cars here, APS isn’t trying to squeeze their teachers in the name of higher profits. When teachers and staff started leaving the district, the APS brass finally got their collective thumbs out of their asses and realized they needed to, you know, compete. It didn’t take a union. Every time there’s a budget shortfall, they just boo-hoo to the county for another bond or more money, and they get it! Efficiency isn’t even remotely in the vocabulary of NoVA school systems.

APS management are, with few exceptions, an insular group of ineffective and rudderless dunces who petered their way to the top. When I look at people like Ingrid Grant, it’s really just more of that, and it makes my job harder because I’m actually trying to do it while being surrounded by people who are there to collect a paycheck and go home. The AEA website isn’t even working right now.

Don’t even get me started on Hutchings, who is so above the problems plaguing his own district that he sends his kids to private school. But sure, let’s collectively bargain so more of these idiots can coast their way to “leadership.”
