[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]

I am not really sure what their letter is intended to do. They do say they like Logan better than Reid, that the board misses an opportunity to hire the first black woman superintendent for Fairfax, and that they were not allowed "in the room" for the panel. I imagine the asian-american educators association and the hispanic educators association were not there as well, along with many others who would have wanted to be there. The letter meanders and basically only asks for the hiring criteria and process. Everything else is pseudo implied. If they want to take a stand, especially stating they are aware of possible repercussions, they should make a solid claim/request.

And then there is a link to their eight priorities, which are fine, though they need an editor - many typos in what I assume is a document they worked over at some length. And surprising for a group of education leaders.

This just seems poorly done in my view and comes off as a complaint without a focus or real intent. Maybe it is clearer or more persuasive to others. [/quote]
