Why not just go to the meeting for first hand information?


I'm attending an HOA meeting that night.

Fuqua is at the McLean HS graduation now - the audience gave him two very nice rounds of applause when he was introduced.

Mr. Fuqua was an exceptional principal who worked so hard to make Chesterbrook the amazing school it is todayl. What he did for the special needs kids who have no other option besides public schools was absolutely incredible. He modeled to both staff and students that all kids were welcome at Chesterbrook. Sadly this is not the case at all public schools. Chesterbrook isn’t the same without him at the helm.

NO--Apparently no lawsuits have been filed. But they were threatened to FCPS.
NO--Apparently the issues do not warrant lawsuits, the threat of lawsuits, or anything even remotely close to that.
YES--The parents should own up to their actions. Two of the 3-4? (whatever the number is, it's small) parents behind the lawsuits were at the FCPS/parent meeting on Tuesday, and they said NOTHING. Own it! And yes, perhaps these families should move. But regardless,
NO--Their names should not be released. There are kids involved. Please.


There is another Chesterbrook meeting that was just set for Tuesday June 13th.

Will these families come and finally OWN it?

Or are they going to hide knowing everyone now knows what they did?

Probably 50/50 they bring their lawyer.

It is actually the opposite.

The school budget of from FCPS, not McLean. There are plenty of private services that parents of special needs parents need to do as the school will only provide the absolute minimum to get them to the 25th percentile (which is considered "average"). IME, it is the schools in the less affluent areas that provide more as they know the children wil only get whatever the school provides. Those schools also tend to have more county provided resources and smaller class sizes. In affluent areas they assume (accurately IME) that the parents will pony up the difference.


Ha found one of the plantifs


Nope, just an experienced parent in FCPS system. Have you ever talked with parents of special education students about what they do privately?
