He was arrested on Friday. Funny how that hasn’t been reported by the news.


Arrested and being walked out by your employer are two very different things. What is your source for the arrest? Did you see him being led out and mistake FCPS Security for Fairfax County police?

Good riddance!



Reid needs to be next in line!!!!

The man made one bad decision with a football coach and you all want his life ruined. Are you without mistakes? Praying for him because it's absolutely ridiculous the amount of hate he gets. He who is without sin cast the first stone.


In FCPS, the principal has final oversight of the financial transactions. This wasn’t just one error. Either he was completely incompetent or he was complicit in the embezzlement of $40K that occurred under his watch. Pick one.

Oh yes, I should have included her. She got hired by another district I believe. I wonder how that's going?

Moving failures to central office (aka: Gatehouse) is standard operating procedure in FCPS. Classroom Teachers who know about it are reportedly incensed by it.

The long-standing "Failed Principal to central office pipeline" DCUM thread is here:

Thompson was Reid’s first Hs principal hire in FCPS. She did everything she could to cover for him until it become too public and she was forced to deal with it. She is just as guilty. Thompson is a bad person. Hopefully Hayfield can recover soon, but needs to run out all the Thompson/Overton people.

That lady was hilarious. The way she called herself a public school football team "Chaplain" like that is a thing.

I can't believe they didn't clear out all the Overton hangers-on when he left.
