Angela Atwater: Portrait of a Bureaucrat

FCPS' hiring standards

I found this bio of FCPS' Angela Atwater. It is a year or two old, but probably all that is wrong is the amount of time in her current position.
Take a look at her work history:
1) FCPS hired her in 2013.
2) From 2008 to present, she's been an adjunct professor at George Mason.
3) She was a Loudoun County bureaucrat for all of 2 months back in 2013.
4) She was a principal in Loudoun from 2008 to 2012.
That's kind of a funny career trajectory, no teaching experience and right into an assistant superintendent position in a district she'd never worked in. Things that make you go hmmmmm, as they say.
Now, on to her education:
1) From 2009 to 2011, she was working on, and then getting, her online Ed.D. degree. 2 years, that's pretty fast to get a doctorate, especially when she was working at the time.
2) Back in the late 70s/early 80s, she got a BA and MA from Pitt, that part at least seems normal.
It is funny that she lists her education all the way back but not her job experience. The fact that she only had that one job at Loudoun's schools for a couple of months, well, what I did I say, things that make you go hmmmmm.
So yes, why bother with 4 full time years in medical school and then a residency when you can get an online Ed.D. in two, earn as much if not more than a doctor, not have to work very hard, and get lots of side benefits?

Not surprising at all.
High-level managers at LCPS are FLOCKING to FCPS to become even higher-level managers in FCPS.
And they're bringing lots of their Loudoun buddies with them.

She was my principal at Antietam Elementary in PWC. I think it was 4th/5th grade so the would be around 2001/2002. She was obsessed with the SOL's to a point where I remember both my parent's and friend's were complaining.

And our taxes keep going higher and higher.
We need real leadership in Fairfax County, with a small, but efficient government that takes care of our needs.
All of the slough can go on to some kind of federal, Democrat-run welfare program

Either she's fixated on statistics (have heard the same about Zuluaga) or she's just given up, seduced by the easy life at Gatehouse.
