Do they really need a coordinator, Director, a chief officer, a supervisor, and specialists? I think with 30 kids to a class, that is the story here.

This is true (Arlington admin here)


Why was he hired in the first place then? I really hope Duran was disgusted by his involvement to stop new instruction in March 2020 and axed him for cause.

Then why on earth would APS handle it the way they did. Just say the guy left and announce his interim replacement. Why call it "approved leave"?

I don't think they really would if it is a medical issue as that would be his PRIVATE INFORMATION.

Even a baby, it's not really anyone's business. As we can see, these staff put up with enough of their info becoming public and people with nothing else to do discussing them on the internet.


I don’t really have any speculation about what’s going on, aside from the timing being interesting.

This is terrible. Really.

Maybe the guy has a health issue. Or had a baby.

Yes could be anything. I'm not sure what the angle is for the ARLnow story. Either they know something juicy off the record or they are just being d*cks.


Yeah why is this newsworthy? Typically arlnow doesn’t post unless they have some legit info though.

That’s true—there is so much important work to be done regarding these matters in Arlington. I am very pleased that the school system is taking it seriously.

Good thing APS has a Director of DEI on hand to pinch hit.
