[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do we fire Alexandria's Superintendent? His lack of communication to parents is absolutely rediculous and not just with this issue, but with everything. I can't believe that no general statement was made by the principal on his order and that he has a gag order on the school board as well. Isn't the Superintendent supposed to answer to the school board? How is he he the school board what they can and can't do. [/quote]

I don't think he should be fired over this. A new superintendent is not going to help this situation for the time being. But city residents can write to each member of the school board and send emails to the clerk of the school board with a CC to (1) ACPS's internal audit controls office for fraud waste and abuse, (2) Governor Youngkin's office and (3) the Commonwealth's Secretary of Education (Guidera). That would be a start to holding school members, who are elected officials, to account and have them demand that the superintendent and school principals be more forthcoming about non-privacy-protected information that can be disclosed as it relates to the sexual assault that took place at Minnie Howard.[/quote]

No, he should be fired because he is incompetent, derelict, and egocentric.  His children attend private school!  The precipitous decline in scores of low-income children in schools should be enough - especially since there is no intentional, effective plan to address or fix this - other than Equity for All.  Well, equity is being equipped to pass a science assessment - making "Racial equity . . . at the center of every decision that the school division will make" (quote from 21-22 ACHS Orientation slide) does not increase literacy and graduation rates.  But it does give you some great soundbites for book tours and speaking engagements.  The cover-up of the rape, nevertheless, is a specific act that creates the irrefutable reason he needs to go.  ACPS administration and board is pathetic - and undermines every good thing the teachers and school officials do that are pretty great.   [/quote]
