FCPS has fired an employee over her reply to a student’s Jan. 5 tweet to “close school tammarrow PLEASE.”

Katie Nash told the The Frederick News-Post, that she was terminated from her $44,000-a-year job as web experience coordinator after replying, “But then how would you learn how to spell ‘tomorrow?’ :)”.

The clever reply got quite a bit of attention on Twitter before it was deleted. It even inspired the hashtags “#KatiefromFCPS” and — after Twitter feared she was no longer running the account — “#FreeKatie.”

But while even the recipient of Nash’s reply thought the tweet was in good fun, the district apparently wasn’t comfortable with her approach and dismissed her Friday.

A Frederick County Public Schools spokesman confirmed that firing but didn’t provide details. Nash herself said that she understands why she was let go and that she didn’t “want to be a distraction to the school system.”

Nash is taking her dismissal in stride, tweeting yesterday: “Wish success for FCPS, students deserve the best. Don’t regret a tweet. #katiefromFCPS says do ur homewurk [sic] – no one takes away ur education.”

Nash’s approach to the school’s Twitter feed wasn’t necessarily unique: Fairfax County (Virginia) Public Schools’ Twitter feed (@fcpsnews) has its own following!

Off topic or not, she would be a great fit for a certain school district in NC:

what i remember about tyson's is from a dr's office coffee table book about tyson's over the the years. it's gone through many changes. what i remember most from the book and from local knowlege is ...


Tyson's was developed by a U.S.A. Military man who had obtained money from and after the war. A friend of his told him the area was to become prime real-estate, and his put all his money down there - including in building the original mall.

His bet paid of well, Tyson's was and is a popular and high land value area.

IT IS A PLACE, SO TO SPEAK, OF A WAR-DROBE, OF WAR SPOILS - UNSURE IF VIET-NAM OR WWII / JAPAN OR KOREA
