This is important. MO for those in charge for past few decades (at every level and regardless of political affiliation) has been to claim they're "investigating" and then wait for the inevitable short attention span of public to move on to something else. Thus, no one ever gets held accountable for anything.

While this doesn't rise to "Pentagon Papers" level of importance, it's critical to start holding public officials accountable for their decisions and actions and not let them hide behind paperwork, "privacy" concerns and miniscule public attention spans. Only thing that will get this report released is good old public pressure - keep up the good work!

If only our most major local newspaper (the Washington Post, which may have national aspirations but is also local) ever actually published anything negative about FCPS...

I'm not saying they should only publish the negative, but they literally refuse to engage in any sort of accountability for local school systems over there in the education section of that paper.

You may be in an alternate universe but in case you haven’t heard, the Post’s actual journalism staff has been decimated in the Bezos years. There used to be a huge Metro staff. There is barely a skeleton crew now.

Again why is this? You can't just blame Bezos. Everyone expects to get the news for free. Younger people couldn't care less and are completely ignorant as to how important a free press is in a democratic society.

The number is astronomical. Over 25 million since she was hired by FCPS.

15 million last year.

The law firms we are using are billing close to $2000.00 hour.

Most of these lawsuits are avoidable if they just governed as moderates or enforced district residency checks like in the Hayfield cheating scandal.

Imagine the teachers we could hire with that money.

You have no clue how many of those lawsuits are "unavoidable". I'd bet quite a few are related to special ed and we know the school system never follows the rules wrt providing students what they need.

Our highly paid superintendent bungled this and allowed sketchy behavior to go unaddressed. Over and over again. We were finally promised an investigation and that report has still not come out. It affects my life because I’m a taxpayer and an FCPS family.

How? How does it impact your LIFE???
I'll help you... it doesn't

Getting the report means it is now being reviewed by legal, HR, and probably the union eventually.

They don't get the report and release it immediately because of your fetish.
