The Fairfax County School Board has voted to extend the contract of Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Karen K. Garza, effective July 1, for an additional four years. The new contract will run through June 30, 2020.
“Dr. Garza has been an agent of positive change for Fairfax County Public Schools,” said School Board Chair Pat Hynes. “She has positively engaged the community in a number of critical issues and has been a passionate advocate for our students and teachers,” said Hynes while trying to speak over the chants of “4 more years!, 4 more years!” from up and comer school board member Ryan McElveen.
“Dr. Garza’s leadership has included creation of the Portrait of a Graduate, now viewed as a national model; Ignite, FCPS’ five-year strategic plan; the implementation of later high school start times; the elimination of early-release Mondays; and investments in teacher pay and lowering class size, and transgender bathrooms so the boys can finally enter the girls bathroom without risk of expulsion or interference from pesky resource officers, all of which have had a significant, positive impact for our students and staff members.
“We are pleased to be able to recognize Dr. Garza’s contributions by extending her contract, ensuring administrative stability and continuity in the district,” added Hynes.
