[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am no expert.  However, it seems to me that our Superintendent and School Board are more concerned about themselves than the students.

I would think that hiring four people for round the clock security for our Superintendent is a little obsessive.  But, then so is our School Board hiring addition executive staff for each member.  Meanwhile, cutting school based staff.

Perhaps, the voters should look for people who actually understand that the purpose of our schools is to safely educate our children.[/quote]

I agree with this.

Scott Brabrand was Superintendent during Covid and there were a lot of folks unhappy with closed schools, online learning that often tearned out to be "learning" in name only, and their kids' loss of both academic and social skills.  People felt strongly about it, enough so to try and recall several School Board members.

Even so, Brabrand never treated it as a pretext to demand a full-fledged security detail.  Absent a persuasive confirmation of a real threat against Reid that can't be handled through the normal processes, this all feels highly performative and intended to chill parents from vocally opposing decisions by Reid and/or the School Board in the months leading up to the fall elections in Virginia.

Agree. It was much more dangerous during Covid. People were so angry about school closures and schools were used as a political target. Reid is not even the most important person in the county. No one else is asking for security details- not even board members who are much more targeted than Reid.[/quote]

You have no idea what possible threats are being made and to who.[/quote]

DP.  Right. The public that’s expected to foot the bill for this entourage is kept largely in the dark as to the actual need.  We’re just expected to agree the expense is warranted.

In case you haven’t noticed, that’s a repeated pattern with FCPS these days. [/quote]
