Seems like a nice lady, definitely has the experience as an administrator in ACPS for 30 years and ACPS parent of 5 kids. https://www.alxnow.com/2021/08/06/former-acps-administrator-tammy-ignacio-says-experience-matters-in-school-board-bid/

She’s a snake- ran off several great teachers at TC because they wouldn’t kiss the ring. As far as she was concerned, SHE was principal and really got bent out of shape if people went to the actual principal about things. She plays up this “rah rah I’m all for Alexandria” routine but then conveniently leaves out that she tried to get a superintendent job in WV a few years ago after getting busted back down to school level from central office.

The only person she’s watching out for is herself.

LOL. Sounds like you're one of the parents whose kid did something wrong and found out she enforces the rules. Not everyone in ACPS caves when a white mommy or daddy complains. NP.

LOL. Good luck getting a response. I have a feeling it is one of the DCUM favored ones so he or she is being shielded. If it was someone they hated then it would have been posted here a million times over. I have gone back and looked at the most popular people based on postings here and I've narrowed it down to 2. They were people who were getting a lot of love and then it stopped. I think they are scared it will come up.

He claimed he has been the target of "microagressions" on twitter. The world revolves around him don't you know?

Huh. So he should ignore the bully behavior and just let people like you walk all over him and his family?

Good for him for calling people out on their bad behavior.

You all are an embarrassment and exactly the reason why we send our kids to private school. We don't send our kids to private school to get away from the school system or the teachers, we send our kids to private school because of the people like you who send your kids to Alexandria City Public Schools.

We don't have a school system problem in Alexandria, we have a parent problem in Alexandria.

Really! We don't have the cash to send our kiddos to private, so we suffer through abuse and aggression daily. No end in sight. So now, Dr. Hutchings wants to live outside the city in addition to sending his child to private school? Surely, as a TCW graduate he knew the snake pit he was going to manage? Every other superintendent candidate did and wouldn't touch the job.

Reading comprehension is important. See the bolded.

Then read the next sentence. "...his family was receiving threats." Apparently that is acceptable to you. It isn't to me so I guess we have vastly different value systems. It saddens me that you are a neighbor in my beloved Alexandria.

To the extent Hutchings really received threats, that is completely unacceptable.

But, a few bad apple parents does not mean we need to be sycophants to Hutchings and ignore the numerous problems with ACPS starting with its leadership.
Overall, the problem with ACPS parents have been a failure to challenge the poor leadership and outcomes - the awful letter of PTAC praising ACPS/Hutchings for everything when ACPS virtual school was so poor is a prime example.
