Lol... are you freaking serious? Your LGBT superintendent is married to a dude who had to resign being a superintendent himself because he was being investigated by the FBI for trying to influence elections and offering trustees consulting gigs.
Yeah the problem starts at the top. I am not a fan of the superintendent and current school board, they all think alike.
JCPS’s superintendent is not a complete lunatic, but the school board is an absolute train wreck. The state needs to take it over.
Not really, that post took me all of 5 minutes. I guess you have too much free time too since you are spending time reading my posts and replying. My kids are important to me and since they go to FCPS, I’ll gladly take my 5 minutes of “free time” to call out a dumpster fire whenever I see one. Hopefully my posts help keep other parents more informed of what goes on in FCPS and motivates them to be aware of who they are voting for on the school board who assist in hires such as these. Also hope it helps motivate parents to volunteer on committees, read the FCPS emails (they don’t really hide a lot of what they do), overall become more involved in the school system to put out the dumpster fire.
The racial undertones in this thread are quickly becoming overtonesThey have to make quotas , of course.
I don’t like quotas because they’re using non-job related criteria to fill spots that other truly qualified people are trying to get. How would you like being passed over for someone with a known albatross like this?
So, nobody can question someone else’s competency because of race or identity?
The racial overtones of the school hiring practices shouldn’t be ignored…
What an awful person caring about his children’s education. Definitely a waste of time…
There's a thread like this every couple months because some poster on here gets mad that a minority got hired to lead a school or department, let's call it what it is. Until you find out who this principal was going up against for this position then how could you possibly know that this was solely a quota hire? You and everybody else posting all upset are just assuming and you know what happens when you assume?
Hmm, they found a man of a certain race with a less than desirable past. If he’s truly the best candidate they could find, schools are in even worse trouble than originally thought.
They've intentional went from "It's About Kids" to "A New Way Forward"
It's almost like when you have half the population villainizing the public school system then it makes it harder for people to want to work there. Give me another candidate for this exact position and then you can make that argument, otherwise you are again simply assuming.
It’s almost like when you have nearly half the population trying to destroy public education, the other half doesn’t like it.
100%. It’s honestly almost comical.
For God’s sake man, they hired a guy who was under investigation to lead a large high school. Not only was he investigated, but rather than fight to prove he did nothing wrong, he just went ahead and resigned from the position. And all you take away from the deal is his race. I think that says more about you then other posters.
We don't know that because neither of us are involved in the hiring process. People like you make working in public schools toxic due to your constant ridicule of every decision that is made. Your use of cheap buzz words like "woke leadership" and "traditional style of learning" can easily be reinterpreted into what we all know you really mean. You're the loudest hollering hit dog of them all.
An ounce of research shows that he wasn't found liable of anything and the investigation was dropped with high praise of recommendation from the superintendent of that district. Not like that matters to most of you.
I'm not the one throwing out conspiracies with no concrete evidence that people are being hired solely based on race. My horse does feel a bit higher than yours in that regard
Yeah and an ounce of common sense tells you they agreed to drop the investigation if he resigned so they could avoid lawsuit filings like we saw in the Dunbar situation. Why would he resign if he wasn’t guilty and they found no evidence of any wrongdoing? Can you post the article where you get the info above?
And a little bit of digging shows it was dropped right before he resigned, which tells anyone with a brain that a deal was made. More digging shows that he wasn’t even successful before the investigation. Poor scores, large fights & riots with arrests & hospitalizations. Parents upset because of communication issues between the schools & themselves. Sounds like a great candidate & leader.
Funny that you say that the leftist areas have the failed leadership when it's all the red states that are at the bottom of the rankings when it comes to education levels. You sure have a very strong opinion of the hiring processes for the Fayette County public school system despite seemingly having no idea what actually happens there considering your preference for private school.
