[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s her qualifications?[/quote]

She's never been a teacher - just a policy maker and data cruncher, which makes her the obvious pick.  Wouldn't want anyone with any actual understanding of how anything really works in the classroom.  Last sec of ed under republicans was just like her, which is how we teachers ended up with "accountability" policies that were so nonsensical they literally made children and teachers cry.  [/quote]

She's VA's Betsy DeVos.

And the answer to OP is this: she'll issue abstract goals and statements that placate the types that are currently filing for recalls and complaining about schools being renamed and clutching their pearls over theories that are not being taught in schools. On a day-to-day basis, she'll have no effect whatsoever on FCPS. At least in any way that y'all are expecting. As others pointed out, the decisions you all are complaining about happened locally (and although YOU may not have supported the decisions made, lots of people did).

So, enjoy watching . . . . nothing. [/quote]

:lol:  You want some "abstract goals and statements that placate the types" currently braying about "equity" rather than education?  Here ya go:

"Teaching Tolerance’s Social Justice Standards are a set of anchor standards and age-appropriate learning outcomes divided into four domains—identity, diversity, justice and action (IDJA).

The standards recognize that, in today’s diverse classrooms, students need knowledge and skills related to both prejudice reduction and collective action."
