It has been more than seven years (!) since I stopped working for the overly-large school district. But that doesn’t mean I’m not still interested in what’s happening inside the bureaucracy. And the schools, of course.

Listening to Kids Should Be Part of the Job
Last fall, our overly-large school district starting looking for a new superintendent. Last week, the school board announced their decision.
And, as just about anyone could have predicted, the choice did not please everyone.
Spying On Your Kids
Evidently, our overly-large school district will help with that.
Put this in the category of “I didn’t know this was happening”: in a recent newsletter, we learn that parents can sign up to get a weekly report on “their child’s activity on an FCPS device”, courtesy of the company the district pays for content censorship filtering.
Help Wanted
Are you part of the “great resignation”? Looking for a high-profile job in a really nice area that pays pretty well?
Once again, the overly-large school district is looking for a new superintendent.1 Although the process is pretty far along, I’m sure the search firm running it would love to hear from an amazing last-minute candidate. Or maybe not.
Finding My Direction
It has been rather quiet around here lately, both in terms of ranting in this space and the overly-large school district.
When I worked for the system, one golden rule was to avoid making headlines in The Washington Post. Fairfax has done pretty well with that, especially when compared to our friends to the west.
