He's leaving end of this SY for Champaign, IL as their new superindendent.
Would love to know what his staff at Gatehouse think of his departure.
New Chief of Schools was announced today:
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is proud to announce the appointment of Megan Vroman as the new chief of schools. Ms. Vroman, who currently serves as the assistant superintendent of Region 2, brings a wealth of experience, a strategic vision for student success, and a proven track record of instructional excellence to this critical executive leadership role.
No one will miss him. No one.
Principals like Ms. Vroman. She’s smart and doesn’t have an ego that gets in the way of doing good work. Hopefully she can push back against the superintendent in this new role. Everything feels very top-down and at the whim of Reid. Some healthy pushback and collaboration at Gatehouse would go a long way.
Unfortunately everyone has learned not to push back against Reid because that will get you pushed out. She argues like a petulant child and gets what she wants. Everyone in leadership is afraid of her or at least afraid of speaking up.

No longer a rumor. Going to Fort Worth.

Don’t forget Chief HR Officer too.
Oh my the list grows! Went from a laughable joke/coincidence to something that should seriously be asked about.

Look at that, Houston school district goes downhill and we hire them and they tank our district imagine that. These people and their ideas have got to go. I feel bad for the third district to hire them in an even hire role.

It's not like she was flown across the country for the role of Superintendent.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Reid has hired another admin into an executive role from the poorly run district of Houston. This is the 4th or 5th executive admin she has hired from Houston Independent School which was recently overhauled by the state because the poor performance and failures in Texas. Now, two of our assistant superintendents are running two regions of our county. The other two are our Chief Human Resource Officer and our Chief of Schools. We wonder why Fairfax is going downhill, you don’t have to look too far. What agreement does she have with Houston, I don’t believe she has ever worked there?
Maybe, because it is an extremely large school district?
Odd choice, though.
If they want to be principals, prove themselves and then be given the cushion job of central office I am okay. But to promote them to be advisors of our school/principals is major issue when they don’t even have a previous job in that role.
Reid has hired way too many poor education outside of FCPS in critical roles and it’s costing us.

Completely forgot the Region 4 guy is also from Texas. Add him to the Texas list too then. How does this not bother the rest of her leadership team to have so many people infiltrating from Texas? Very bizarre and suspect hiring practice indeed.
