[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s odd that FCPS spends tons of money on consultants every year, but that when the Governor-elect appoints someone with a background in educational consulting to oversee VDOE the same people who defend FCPS’s current expenditures on consultants then turn around and claim it’s somehow a big problem.  Hypocritical much? [/quote]

Bingo.  Anyone recall "The Leadership Academy" and their expensive contract with FCPS?  Here's a refresher:

https://www.fcps.edu/node/43411
https://www.leadershipacademy.org/

"We support leaders within the context of their communities and take a systemic approach to addressing local leadership needs.
To consistently provide each student access to the learning opportunities they need to excel, schools need strong culturally responsive leaders. We define culturally responsive leadership as being able to recognize how institutionalized racism affects your own life and the lives of the students and families you work with, and embracing your role in mitigating, disrupting and dismantling systemic oppression. Culturally responsive leaders focus on academic success, cultural competence, and developing students’ and educators’ abilities to think critically about the world around them. They create learning experiences intentionally built to meet the needs of every child. Being culturally responsive is the work at the heart of making school systems more equitable.  We support school and school system leaders in using an equity lens to implement a vision, build strong school and district culture, set clear and high expectations, and develop and lead principals and teachers who ensure rigorous and culturally responsive instruction and the opportunity for all students to be successful."[/quote]
