Dr. Hutchings is the chief executive officer and founder of an educational consulting firm, Revolutionary Ed, LLC. His life’s work is educational service and dismantling systemic racism in schools across America."

When does he have the time to be an educational consultant? And adjunct professor? It's obvious that he is not focused on the district.

ACPS is crumbling under his leadership. When will his bosses on the school board have the courage to stand up to him?

I can't believe that anyone or any school district would take his advice in his book seriously. He left Shaker Heights worse than he found it. That was well documented in the Washington Post story. He's pro-SRO in Alexandria yet advocates that other districts to get policing out of schools. ACHS is extrememly segregated, yet he's qualified to give advice on desegregating a school system?

My prediction is that he will spend the next three years continuing to build his brand and his business at ACPS' expense (both to the students and continuing to use ACPS resources). He'll leave when his current contract is up in 2025 but will stay on as a very well paid consultant.

Given that his focus is not on his job as superintendent...who is actually running ACPS? Is it Terri Mozingo? Gerald Mann?

I just read the Introduction and Chapter 1 to his book. I think parents who spent the 2020-2021 school year treading water by trying to work full time and be assistant teachers at home will especially enjoy the swipes he takes at learning pods in Ch 1, saying the choice to form them "explicitly" widened the gap between haves and have nots and "entrenched the color line in public education." Noticably absent is any discussion about the effects those who pulled their kids out and put them in private school had on the class and race divide.

What data does he cite on this?

Hutchings is a fraud. If he cared about closing the racial learning gaps, he could be pushing for creative solutions to do so. Instead he's writing a book.

All true. People who buy his book (and his consulting services) are going to get suckered (and a bunch of word salad). He hasn't done any of the things he prescribes in his book.

I would just like one School Board member to question this book, it's timing, and what ACPS and taxpayer resources may have been used. One. Maybe this Elnoubi guy will be brave enough to ask. It seems he's the only one with any guts.

Don’t forget the podcast … “Unapologetic Talk With the Supe.”
No, I’m not making that up.

Which ACPS promoted on its social media feeds

The promotion of it is the least of it. Podcasts take equipment and time. Time to prepare for it, time to read your guest's work, time to prepare questions, time to schedule the guests, time to record (an hour long podcast can come from hours of conversation) and time to edit it. Likely there is more behind the scenes that takes up additional time. Who is doing all of this for him? How much time is this taking away from what should be his actual work? How much time is taken from what staff should actually be doing?

This is naked self promotion. Is there a way to find out how many people listen/download to a podcast? I haven't listened to Hutchings' but maybe I will. Just like his book, it should be reviewed and rated by the people who are living with the results of his work.

Go Abdel Elnoubi! Wish I was in your district and could vote for someone with a spine but I'm in district B:

“My position hasn’t changed on this,” Elnoubi told ALXnow. “I understand that Dr. Hutchings may be worried if we say something, it may be attributed to the division. We don’t work for the division though, we oversee it and we work for the people of Alexandria, we represent The people. As elected officials, we are free to choose how, where and what to communicate with the community, which gets to hold us accountable. In times like these, the community needs to hear from its leaders and policymakers.”

Elnoubi was a great PTA president - ran the meetings efficiently and effectively and did a lot for the school community.

WELL SAID! Wish I could vote for him, too.
