Kudos to Alexandria Times for keeping on top of this story and trying to provide more details about the incident and process.

Maybe they are going to discuss issuing their own statement apologizing for not informing parents about the violent rape and sodomy in Minnie Howard.

They may want to since it looks like the Mayor was playing fast and loose the truth about the City's statement and the Commonwealth's Attorney and ADP's involvement in it.

ACPS would have been smart to distance themselves from that mess but too late now! They own that mess too by not releasing their own.

And Ignacio's campaign treasurer, Katy Matthews, is the PTAC Treasurer. So you know she won't be speaking out for parents and kids and is just about covering for ACPS.

How about a new superintendent. How do we make that happen?

Exactly - but Booz works for the ultimate team establishment (Randi Weingarten), so this was absolutely predictable. It’s never about the kids.

What's been really gross to watch in this MH rape story is how quickly "transparency" flew out the window for the new school board members who ran on transparency. How quickly Booz, Baird and Ignacio in B forgot all those transparency promises. But I guess they were just taking Hutchings' orders not to talk to the media one step further and not even saying anything to constituents. Doesn't take long to become the ACPS establishment does it?

Shouldn't this recording have been posted somewhere? I've checked the city and schools websites and it's not in either location.

Yes but Hutchings is off on his book tour, Alderton is probably busy doing things at her kids' private school and Wilson is likely writing his word salad newsletter on Amtrak's time.

Pfffftttt...none of those people are anyone's "betters." Villiage idiots? Yes. Losers? Yes. Unworthy of any respect? Absolutely.

Here's the ACPS video of the March 24, 2022 school board meeting. Listen about 1:00 minutes forward if you wish. I had no real patience to do so.

As to the ACPS/City joint council meeting I see no signs it's up on the City website.

What was discussed? Did the sexual assault at MH ever come up or was addresssed?
