Dr. Scott S. Brabrand according to a reliable source was not the top choice for Schools Superintendent which why it took so long to get a replacement named. I wonder who was the top choice?
A committee of nineteen staff and community members interviewed semi-finalists and gave feedback to the board for the final selection.
Dr.Braband would succeed Steve Lockard, who has served as interim superintendent since Superintendent Karen Garza left in December (She brought FCPS to the next level).

If he wasn't the first, I am glad they took the time to get it right.

At the superintendent's teacher advisory council meeting.... we were told that a before May 10th a New Superintendent would be named & introduce as the finalist... well that didn't happened because the school board had to continue the search. It is true that Dr.Brabrand was not the 1st choice.

Then who was the first choice? And who was your source? Considering there were 19 community and staff members, that's a pretty exclusive list.
But unless you have anything to back up what you are saying, you are, as they say in the vernacular, full of shit.

I have heard the same rumors. Not a big deal. What is important isn't that another candidate didn't want the job. It is why the candidate didn't want the job.

Who ever wrote about the superintendent's teacher advisory council announcement promise is telling the truth. Dr.Brabrand, was not the first choice as the preferred candidate withdrew their name so the School Board had to continue the search.
Also, at the June 8 school board meeting was the announcement and introduction of the new school board superintendent, Dr. Brabrand (who was not the 1st choice). His speech was uneventful and boilerplate, but concerning in that he refers to picking up with FCPS strategic plan, which is that awful document that promotes "caring cultures and student success," while the school systems does the complete opposite. Its also concerning to learn that he is a long time administrator of FCPS who is returning to the school system after five years in Lynchburg as a school superintendent.
While it would have been nice that he acknowledge that his predecessor was run out of town for corruption, poor management, and secretly working with the school to implement inverted priorities, and that he should promise to not do the same, we should welcome him with open mind and handshakes, but be ready to hold accountable and run out of town til we are respected and its understood the school system is for the parents and all citizens, and not the unions and special interest groups.
