MAGAs have public schools in their cross hairs. And they are aggressive, irrational nut jobs. Of course she needs protection.

Will Reid's good squad be armed? Like police with side arms or concealed carry?

I give as much consideration or increased respect for someone bearing a title of “ex secret service” as I do for “doctor” Michelle Reid. The title at least imo is just a rubber stamp to justify arbitrary decisions.

Whoa. The Centreville abortion thing is wild. It looks like the actual events took place before Reid was superintendent, but what’s the timeline for the cover-up and when these things started coming out?

A good person knows when the jig is up and rather than exponentially increasing costs, they quit while they’re ahead. Reid doesn’t care to read the room that a lot of Fairfax County families are really struggling financially and with job loss right now and increasing costs while providing no value to students this is a slap in their faces.

As pp wrote at length, she only gives lip service to listening to the opinions of others. It is so obvious. She has her mind made up and will do what she wants to do, thinking she has the moral high ground. Such arrogance.

She needs to resign, stat. It’s over.

Are these salaries guaranteed for any period of time or can these guys (I assume they'll all be guys) be let go if Reid is let go?

I think she may be about to do something deeply unpopular (or take the blame for something deeply unpopular) and that's why they think she needs security. Let's wait and see what it is.

I support the need for her security guard. But the children need safety and security too, which FCPS does not provide. They don’t provide safe online/internet use or safe schools and bathrooms.

This has nothing to do with Reid’s unjustifiable security position. Start a separate thread!

It does if it is true.

Boundary study
Feds
Centreville issue
Football

All are very divisive topics.

There are divisive topics at every school system and I am not aware of any of superintendent who has security, are you?

No. I posted that list. I did not mean she needs protection. What she needs is common sense.
Pretty sure if there were a credible threat she would be getting LEO protection.

+1. There was no threat. I seems this plan was concocted many months ago. Certain people she likes may have been promised cushy jobs.

Are you referring to his allegation about what happened at Centreville high school? If that is true it's wild and potentially illegal not to inform parents, right?

If centerville is true the answer is not to hire 4 bodyguards but just step down as even the full confidence gave to football coaches will likely not be given back to gatehouse

Exactly. The community must band together and demand her resignation.
Every member of the board enabled this disaster.

“A source told 7News those security staffers, who were hired to protect Reid, had previously been "responsible for protecting schools" before being reassigned to the superintendent's security detail.” So does that mean she did hire Overton and people from his security company?

From the job posting:

Requires exceptional flexibility; schedule will be unpredictable and driven by the superintendent's daily activities and security needs.

Must be available for irregular hours, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, travel, and extended on-call duty.

Travel? Travel?

It’s basically to have someone with her on all of her school visits, etc.

Wonder if it comes with a vehicle? Glorified chauffeur?

With a British accent! That bi*ch is a joke.

"Due to some fast-evolving operational needs, I've had to accelerate the timeline for filling these roles," the second email reads.

Something is coming and it is going to be bad, real bad.

Exactly like I get some people don’t like her but I can’t imagine she gets enough violent threats to warrant this?

+1. There's no way she needs round the clock protection. There are plenty of gated communities in the area. She gets a housing allowance and can afford to live in one and install a top of the line security system on her salary.

Clearly she is worth it
