For your information, FCPS has zero tolerance for all students in school, but they have a different policy for officials and employees.
At the end of every SB meeting Dale and the school board render decisions like the KGB on students in FCPS.
NOT FAIR. TALK TO ANY PARENT WHO HAS HAD ZERO TOLERANCE CHARGES AGAINST THEIR CHILD AND THEY WILL TELL YOU IT WAS LIKE BEING ON TRAIL IN A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.
THE TIME HAS COME TO TAKE AWAY THE CONTROL OF THE FCPS SYSTEM FROM THE SB AND RETURN IT TO THE TAXPAYERS IN FAIRFAX COUNTY.
The following questions beg for answers;
WHY WAS THE PHOTO OF THE AP REMOVED FROM THE CUB RUN WEB SITE AFTER HIS ARREST FOR GROWING POT IN HIS HOME?
WHY WAS HE PLACED ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE AFTER HIS ARREST AND NOT SUSPENDED WITHOUT PAY?
IS THERE NO ZERO TOLERANCE FOR FCPS EMPLOYEES WHEN THEY BREAK THE RULES?
WHY ARE FCPS EMPLOYEES TREATED WITH MORE SENSITIVITY THEN FCPS STUDENTS?
YOU NEED TO TREAT YOUR EMPLOYEES THE SAME WAY YOU TREAT YOUR STUDENTS WITH SWIFT AND HARSH PUNISHMENT.
WHO DID HE SELL POT TO? STUDENTS? FELLOW EMPLOYEES?
AS ALWAY, ANSWERS WILL NEVER COME FROM FCPS? WHY NOT TALK ABOUT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM ON CHANNEL 21 INSTEAD OF ALL OF YOUR PROPAGANDA BULL SHIT?
KORI WILL BE SERVING DETENTION FOR USE OF A SELL PHONE, BUT NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO Mrs. TISTADT WHO WORKS FOR FCPS. SHE WENT OFF ON THE STUDENT AND AS ALWAYS NO CONSEQUENCIES FOR HER ACTION.
