[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fear for Dr. Reid when she comes to fullybrealize that she’s not working in a small, generally progressive, affluent Seattle suburban district any longer.  Fairfax may not be Loudoun, but it is very divided politically and the current School Board (preening, narcissistic, and more concerned with looking good than doing right) is a primary driver of the wedge.[/quote]

Why did the NAACP object to Ms Reid?[/quote]

Here is the NAACP's summary of concerns about Dr. Reid.  Essentially, she lacks experience with a school system with the comparable size, diversity, and compexity of FCPS.
[i]
[b]The issue we all agree on is that FCPS needs a superintendent who has commensurate experience in leading organizations of this size, diversity, and complexity, and that the 
Superintendent of Northshore School District isn’t the right fit.[/b]

The stupidity of the NAACP letter is clearer on display when Fairfax's economic and racial and economic diversity is closer to Northshore's than Omaha's in differential percentage. Northshore has a differential percentage of just 14 percent in economic disadvantaged compared to Fairfax versus 51 percent for Omaha.  A differential of 12 versus 14 percent in white percentage, 5 versus 13 percent in Asian percentage, 8 versus 15 in black percentage.

Finally if one is to compare ACT/SAT scores between the two in which the NACCP omitted it is quite clear which superintendent had the better track record. [/quote]

Sujatha Hampton isn't very smart, but she tries to make up for it with emotion and invective.  [/quote]
