At a minimum they should have sent out an email saying that the release would be delayed (and why) and rescheduling the first community meetings to allow time to review the scenario.

I get about a dozen emails a week from FCPS with nonsense info, and they can't send out one more with info that people actually want????

School Board members must be livid that they were told they could send out emails yesterday promising the updated map yesterday evening. Of course they also should have double checked first to make sure that was accurate. Isn’t that why we’re now paying for them to have two assistants paid more than teachers in some cases?

Imagine not understanding how many families are anxious about this.

She doesn’t care. Like all scandals she’s been apart of, she will pass the blame and move on. Or simply ignore it and never address it.

It’s the biggest example of the recent incompetence that FCPS shows in so many of their initiatives. Whether intentional or not, it comes across as another way to tell families they don’t matter.

I imagine I would be escorted out of my office with a box of my personal items.

BRAC members repeatedly ask for relevant information and those requests go into a void. If I were on BRAC I’d either have just ghosted the committee by now, or gone public with the fact that I’d been stonewalled by FCPS and could not fulfill the mandate.

Thank you to all the BRAC members who have had to deal with Gatehouse’s hostility, ineptitude, lack of responsiveness, and lack of transparency. We all see that you are tirelessly working for your communities, and that FCPS is not.

Technical difficulties

Imagine missing a deadline for 300k customers with no explanation or an eta for delivery.

The fact that there has been no email is damning. It means they really have no idea what’s going on, why it’s not updated, or when we can expect it, or they absolutely would send it.

Is Reid awake yet?

If only there was a way for someone from the county to send some sort of electronic message explaining what was going. Someone should invent that.

That being said, those who are running this need to be held to account by constituents. Sounds like the Board and Superintendent need to hear from us en masse.

Unfortunately some BRAC members are useless. We have reached out to our BRAC members several times with 0 response. We gave up on our BRAC members.

Your brac member is a volunteer

Ours have been great.

They showed up at our region meeting a couple weeks ago and tried to answer the questions that fcps couldn't or wouldn't answer, including staying later than the fcps employees to answer questions.
