[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A group of local Black educators has now sent a letter to FCPS that, reading between the lines, also expresses grave reservations about Michelle Reid as the next Superintendent.

Given Reid's commitment to social justice and equity, one can only assume it's a short amount of time before she withdraws or her withdrawal is also made public. [/quote]

The superintendent is one person. How can one person possibly please all these different interest groups? I saw an article about some other group criticizing the process and wanting more input. One person is never going to please anyone. I hope the School Board ignores this and just keeps going with their process. I am not a huge fan of the current board but we can't get bogged down trying to cater to every single interest group in a very large county. These groups should be advocating for diversity on the School Board, or among assistant superintendents, or principals, or teachers, or whatever other positions are comprised of more than one person. This is just ridiculous. Is this how other superintendent searches are in other areas? I don't know because I've never followed the process. I imagine this kind of stuff happens in a lot of places and at some point it just needs to be handled with a "we hear you, but..." [/quote]
