The truth comes out about the Lake Braddock Principle, FCPS leadership, and finally vindicates the fired football coach.

The girls should not have been subjected to this type of treatment.
"One survey provided to The Post described Giannelli “making sexual references to a player who was blowing up a balloon, suggesting she had her lips on a condom.”

Is Karl Kerns the big fat guy at all the athletic events?
If so, maybe he should clean up his appearance or buy bigger shirts. No one wants to see that representing their athletic programs

The football coach who left LBSS has a history of using racial and homophobic slurs and was caught again.
I don't know why FCPS fired coach G for sexual comments but not Poythress.
He treated us terribly on the team and I'm glad my kids will be playing football only after he retires.

Doesn't FCPS have rules and regulations? Isn't there a procedure to follow when complaints are filed? Are principals involved in investigations that they are the targets of?
There must be guidelines!
How does the School Board handle complaints? Who advises the School Board members?
This cluster is happening in our county, one of the richest in the country?
Maybe the new Superintendent should begin with a good house cleaning!

Thomas will be held accountable, they will remove him from Lake Braddock and transfer him to Gatehouse.
So since all of the evidence points to Thomas, Poythress and Clark will be offered full retirement on a early basis.

So Thomas ruined 2 peoples careers with this cover up, he should be fired!
Poythress's legacy will be forever tainted and for no good reason other then Dave Thomas covering his ass.
How does FCPS justify firing the AD and HFC/teacher under false pretenses?
I understand that coaching is only a year to year contract, but come one who fired a coach who has had a top 5 program in the state for the last few years for no good reason?
I understand the girls BB coach was never even interviewed during this investigation.....pitiful!!!!
I hope the new superintendent coming in gets rid of the all of the dead weight

The new superintendent did a stint as associate principal at LBSS so he may have some familiarity with the subject characters and their conduct and performance record. I would expect him to move quickly on these matters.

Incoming superintendent is from a rich area in California-Thousand oaks. There she could not battle the teachers unions with her proposals, and succeed. I asked my Thousand Oaks buddy bout her and after googling her, he had an anecdote: she's a huge proponent of having the schools boundarie's families contribute $$$ to improve the school rather than wait for state funds to come thru. As a principal at some CA school, the PRO was so involved and wealthy, every kid got a iPad! Super rich kids had to buy their own. Poor kids hit the IT lottery. She also encourages companies to mentor kids to career paths-like coding and online marketing etc. techy stuff.
I think she's getting over $250k in salary.

These are acusations against the coach. A investigation was never done and in the article he said he wants an investigation and would look forward to. There have been many case of sexual harassment that ended up not sexual harassment after an investigation has been done. Everyone is crucifying this guy just from hearing one side of the story. Why ruin his life before an investigation is done.

found this on another page.
Here is some of the info the reporter left out... Way to go WAPO
I wonder how many of these posts are by Jim Poythress himself...
and poythress has always called students fags and retards in his class. they had to remove him from his job as a psych teacher because he was giving students the answers to exams and spent most of the class trying to impress his football players by bragging about how much weed he used to smoke. its all pretty sad actually, but im not surprised that a bunch of adults who still follow HS sports and drama think he's a good guy. when he talks to his players and students he puts on an ebonic affectation like hes jamie kennedy in malibu's most wanted. he's a turd.
In weight training class a few years ago, Poythress stood behind a girl from the basketball team and mouthed over and over, "bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch." He looked like a middle schooler with his tidy whities in a wad. Very embarrassed for him.
AND THIS IS WHERE ALL THE PROBLEMS STARTED. THE SAME ONE THAT CONTACTED THE WASHINGTON POST TO HELP THEM WRITE THE ARTICLE
Bill Park
^^^ Agreed. Sour grapes, nobody hurts his snowflake (aka delivers consequences)and gets away with it. Heard from a reliable source that UMD got an anonymous letter about "the truth". Too many people really know what happened that night. Hopefully it's front page news in the WashPo when they dig up the details. Old man Park can go sit down.
Jp is a liar. He could never win the big game...ran his mouth like he was one of the kids. He knew about his players being drunk in a car at 3am back in Oct. Didnt want to loose his D1 player. So he tried to hide it. Maybe if D1 daddy and his wrestling coach buddy didnt try to hide it...things would have been different. If you want an investigation against someone, look at D1 daddy who is using his job to influence the school board. More to come...........
Bill Park will have to live with the fact that his obsession with taking down the LB Principal and covering for his son indirectly caused Coach Poythress to loose his job and forever stained this coach’s legacy.

Also it states that there are a few hundred pages that they were not privileged too. That makes me think the county is sitting on another round of charges against the coach and maybe some parents too
After reading these posts its my opinion that this coach was a mean spirited person. Calling someone Faggot or Bitch as it has been reported is unacceptable in today's society. I applaud Fairfax County for taking action on this what sounds like a another Donald Trump minded person. There is no room in this wonderful county for people like this to be here. Get the evil ones out.

Hey Lake Braddockian, I think the other poster was talking about the underage girl victims. This story has been out for some time. Nobody gives a crap whether this guy owned or was employed by the sportsplex Place. People in the LB community want to know about the coverup and if their kids are going to be protected by those hired to protect them. Cesspool is a very good comparison from what I hear.

Then fire all the football coaches in FFX county, I'm quite sure they have all used those terms sometime or another.
That's why kids are like they are today, give them a trophy for participating because we don't want their feelings hurt.
The difference between kids now and the kids in the 40, 50 60 70s at 18 most went to war defending our country, the kids today go to counseling if someone yells at them or calls them a name.
Whatever happened to the phrase "stick and stones"
As much as this country has moved forward with technology and achievement, we have moved backwards socially. Everyone has to be "PC", well I say F all that this is a free country speak your mind!!!!

After reading all this, we can see the massive cover up Thomas did to save his job, he threw everyone under the bus he thought would stand in his way. They need to fire Thomas and Kerns and bring P and Clark back. Its the only fair thing to do.
Who cares if Ernesto's dad don't like it, he is terrible and he only comes to practice once every few weeks anyways. Let him quit.

The post above is spot on. Anyone close to the situation knows the deal. As for the one or two people on this thread bashing Coach P, it's clear that you are the few and those who support P are the many. Every redundant, repetitive, whining post is the same, most are written (and rewritten) by Ernesto's dad. A man who thinks he has an axe to grind when really he is the problem. Forget blaming others Sir. Instead try looking in the mirror if you want to point fingers. Your son's inability to play football is not his fault, and it isn't Coach P's fault, nor is it anyone else's fault. YOU let him get grotesquely obese before he ever reached high school. YOU are to blame. YOU failed your son. Go ahead, keep ducking personal responsibility and casting blame to cover your personal shame. Keep on with with your complaining, but know this... because of YOUR failure as a parent, your son is not capable of moving faster than a painfully laboring shuffle. If football had a position where being immensely overweight and standing like a statue were called for, your son would be perfect. Otherwise, useless. Again, it isn't his fault. It's YOURS.

Yes, it is about the girls who were harmed first and foremost. No one in their right mind is arguing that that isn't the case. However, in connection with all of this, the coach who was listed as a witness in defense of those girls had his career threatened, his coaching position of 13 years ended, and his reputation trampled. The two things are not mutually exclusive as one is the direct result of the other. Now douchebag trolls are using it as an excuse to pile on and spread lies. So, as long as that continues, they are going to get called out. Count on it.

No argument from me, NoShit. I understand Coach P was trying to do the right thing by the girls. Totally support him. Also have seen the incredible damage caused to underage girls because of The FCPS regime. It is pathetic -- like a third world police state.

There were many girls who were damaged no this is way before the recent coach. Some of these girls are still trying to move on from the damage that was caused.

Agreed with all of that. This whole thing needs to be sorted out and heads need to roll, starting with Thomas, then Gatehouse. They all could have done the right thing from the beginning. Instead they let it fester, lost control, and then threw people under the buss to save their own skin. Pathetic. Thankfully, things are coming to light with this article and the continuing pressure from parents, Good people got hurt in this mess, starting with the girls. Those responsible should pay the price.

Exactly!!!
Thomas knew coach P could provide details that he didn't want the investigators to know.
Sounds like Thomas panicked, he has to come up with anything he could on short notice:
Come on!!!
Opening a side door for a college recruiter
Calling someone a name or two on the football field
That's the best he could come up with?
Worst of all FCPS didn't do anything to investigate any of this, so he was removed from the school that he had been at for the last 13 years.
Say what you want about coach P, looks like at least he had the integrity to do the right thing when students are involved. How many others would have stood up for those girls?

So from reading this article coach Poythress, the winningest football coach in LB history was fired for potentially standing up for girls who were being sexually harassed in the girls BB program.
I don't know, but where I am from, that should be applauded, not grounds for firing.
Was Dave Thomas that desperate that he stooped so low as to fire a good Samaritan to cover him self?
I had 2 kids play for coach Poythress a few years ago, they had nothing but great things to say about him and had a great high school football experience. His style may have been a little awkward, but his message always seem to be clear and always got across.
My guess is that Thomas will be re assigned to somewhere else in the county and will go peacefully.
I wish coach P the very best and hope that the FCPS do the right thing and restore his job and coaching position back at LB

Could be that folks are going to want to know why we've been spending all of our time trying to get boys access to the girls bathrooms and whining about Confederate generals.

People who call the old football coach a simpleton have been fooled. His sister is a lawyer who runs a mega company. His brother is a famous doctor. His father is a mega millionaire.
The old coach is a cover. Did you know he scored a perfect GRE. He is well read and slick as grease. FCPS picked the wrong guy to mess with. BTW same coach has more black and Jewish friends than anyone I know. He at Mass every Sunday. That is the honest truth.
Meantime, all the FCPS principal's and lawyers act smart while they lie to us. Maybe Ernesto's Dad likes to troll dishonesty, but don't believe it. Don't let Gatehouse spin a false narrative. Stand up for the coach who stood up for the girls.

For those that have been paying attention it is not a new ball game, it is the same old ball game. The school board has been playing politics with pet projects and social engineering while the quality of education is declining among the illegal immigrants, cancer causing football fields and changing bathroom signs. Ryan McElveen, Ilryong Moon and most of the rest of the School Board is a cancer that must be removed.

The sad truth is that I am unelectable in Fairfax County. I do not currently have kids in the school system, my background is in business and most importantly I would not make disingenuous commitments to the electorate in order to get elected. I would be more than willing to volunteer for a candidate that would work to improve education without spending an inordinate amount of time turning the kids into dysfunctional zombies.

Truth always wins! Bill Park and his nastiness is coming back to haunt him and everyone he associates himself with. Elizabeth Schultz and Megan McLaughlin - you are being judged on the company you keep. Mr. Park is bad news and those caught in his web of lies are drop'n like flies!!

This seems to be a whole lot of nothing. Not a peep from FCPS nor LB. Faculty is being asked to make Pro Dave signs and show up to Luther Jackson Thursday - but for what? Nothing is clear and at this point, who knows what the truth is. I wouldn't be surprised if zero happened. LB is a drop zone for all sorts of shady Asst Principals. They screw up at another school then get placed at LB til retirement or another spot opens up. This story made it to WaPo but the county has been doing shady crap for years.

Are they being asked or told they better, because their job depends on it.
I understand the LB faculty is not allowed to speak on this at all or they will be terminated.
Also, I believe there will be parents that are representing the opposition to Thomas, and want justice to be served on him.
Lets face it, Dave Thomas did some really shady things that put students in jeopardy, then compounded it by firing the football coach and Athletic Director.
Dave MUST GO!!!!!

With all due respect to the fine journalism of the WP, there is so much wrong with this story--I'm not even sure where to begin.
For one, why is a school board member, Elizabeth Schultz, commenting on personnel matters? Isn't the school board in the business of making policies that benefit students? Not interjecting in public comments and judgments about school employees? Seeing as though your piece contradicts that, I think much of the school community would find your article to be tabloid journalism at best.
Second, how is it that one parent, who has a daughter on the basketball team and a son on the football team, is able to spin the facts of two unrelated incidents? The information you present from that parent's side of the story is nonsense and completely unreliable, disgraceful coming from a national newspaper as reputable as yours. You claim to have 2400 emails, and if that is true, you should have emails between Mr. Poythress and this parent coordinating a plot to fire the principal with the help of their, once again, all too involved school board member. Why would these two men want to do such a thing with the help of their school board member?
Third, you picked this story up way after it left the station and negated to include where it first began. That is, on the Fairfax County Parkway at 2 AM when a car of five of Lake Braddock's football players was pulled over by a fairfax county police officer, all found to be intoxicated, and all released to their parents with ZERO charges pressed for committing a real and dangerous crime. Mr. Bogage, if you are looking to inform the public on this issue, start where it began, and include everything. Write about how these five white teenagers were released from life ruining charges with nothing on them, write about how when FCPS took action against these individuals (in the form of enforcing the Participation Policy), the same parent who was mentioned earlier. The SAME parent (whose daughter is one the basketball team and coincidentally has a son on the football team) was INFURIATED by that, and is what actually ended Mr. Poythress' tenure as the football coach at Lake Braddock because he failed to report it to the administration.
Now, the story you compiled is not investigative enough, as you missed a HUGE part of the story. That police report is available to the public, as is all of the information I just said. That's a story, THAT's the truth. Write about the continuous behavior of parents that don't hold their kids accountable, don't allow them to fail, and don't allow them to feel the consequences of their actions, which might we mention would be completely different if the socioeconomic status and race of these unnamed people changed. There's your story, and the story you have, it's simply wrong, and it's not doing the justice you want it to, I can assure you. I know what's happening.

Why are you pointing out that the five football players are "white teenagers"?
Are you implying black athletes don't get away with breaking the rules?
Certainly you don't believe that. Then why bring race into it?

I see Ernesto's dad is back to posting and has all the facts twisted to favor him self. Give it up everyone knows it you.
Coach P was listed as a witness nothing more, there was never any back an forth emails between him or anyone else.
Coach P did discipline the players in question and reported it to the Administration. Anything that went on afterwards was out of his hands. Again, P did the right thing. He has always run a clean program, so don't even go there
Coach was fired because an egotistical principal didn't want to risk coach P telling the FCPS investigators that Dave knew about what happened in the girls BB program and failed to report it.
Dave Thomas put those girls at risk, regardless of what did or didn't happen, he should have at minimum, conducted an investigation.
Thomas has tried to ruin the careers of 2 people the HFC and AD. Sorry Dave, it your turn, you should be terminated immediately.

Wow. That post was an incredible exercise in misdirection. And what a pathetic, desperate attempt it was. This story is about underage girls and their mistreatment by an incompetent and arrogant system that fail to protect them. That's what it was always about. Your continued efforts to draw attention away from that only make you look like gutless and very small bureaucrats who fail to understand the damage you have done to children because of your arrogance and incompetence. You make me sick.

Make all the Save Dave's job posters you want for the school board meeting.
He is going down!!!
Failure to protect and keep students in a safe environment is very serious!
Apparently it wasn't a priority for this principal

At the end of the day, a proper investigation into the players allegations never occurred - and this is something that needs to be rectified in a major way. It's been over a year and no one was ever interviewed - students or staff! This is the crux of the issue and this is why Dave needs to go, he's ultimately responsible. But like the previous poster said - LB is full of incompetent administrators, top to bottom.

The football connection just doesn't make sense to me. If the principal wanted to keep him quiet, would it make sense to get rid of him. I often look at these stories to see how it all could be true. A couple possibilities: Clark never really informed Thomas of the details of the Dec 2015 meeting and thus after investigations, this is why he took the fall. Otherwise, I'm not sure why he would be out. Or, Clark did not follow up as required from the Dec 2015 meeting. The other possibility (and of course, there are more), Thomas may have protected the coach, but now is protecting himself. The fact that Poythress saw Clark and Thomas talking in March and after doesn't really seem relevant. Unless he had specifics about what was done, or not done, between December and March. And he doesn't sound happy, so if he has specifics, you would assume he will voice those. My back channel, reliable source indicates that Brent is a stand up guy, which again points to the possibility that maybe Clark did not act appropriately and thus why his removal was essentially initiated after the investigation completed in June.

I can see FCPS board cleaning house at LB starting with the principal all of the asst principals and AD, all must go, start fresh.
I don't see anyway other way to try to right this ship.

The "save Dave" posts on this thread are downright comical. Likely Kerns or some other lackey assigned to the task. Ernesto's dad is one fired up moron as well. Both of you idiots can save it, the ship has sailed.Decry the WAPO reporting all you like, but the facts are these:
1) Girls on the BB program brought a complaint, to this day it hasn't been addressed or even investigated properly, Where does the buck stop regarding this failure. Well, I can tell you it isn't the former HFC who was set up and fired when he did the right thing. So that leaves us with Thomas at LB, and the clowns at Gatehouse.
2) Thomas tried to sweep his botched cover up under the rug by firing the AD and the HFC. Shameless, gutless, move to save his own skin. Kerns is his stooge.
3) Kids drinking has nothing to do with the BB matter, that's just a weak attempt to change the subject and shift blame, plus Coach P reported it to the proper authorities. So, bitch all you want about the outcome, but that's another call made by the administration. Parents complained, the administration buckled. All of those decisions occur way above Coach P's pay grade. If anything, Thomas failed there as well. Nice try Ernesto's Dad, you are a first class douche.
4) Thomas didn't just remove the AD and the Coach, they were threatened both tacitly and directly at the County level. Jobs, pensions, reputation, future prospects, etc. Pressure was brought to bear to shut them up regarding the entire matter. Does that sound like the administration at LB or Gatehouse were interested in protecting the students, investigating properly, following protocol... or has this whole thing been about covering their own asses???
5) The majority of people who know Coach P, who worked with Coach P, the players who played for him, the parents of those players, and the community in general are absolutely in his corner. Those who are on here bashing him are the few disgruntled people who bitch and moan about everything, always blame others for their own failures, and who generally just suck. Yes, I'm looking at you Ernesto's Dad.

Mike Clark didn't begin an investigation because he let the Coach resign instead, his hands are NOT clean in this whole mess. The circumstances of his firing may be shady but he also had a role to play in this whole thing. Mike was a good DSS and he did as he was taught by martino and Dave. He screwed up. He also had major skeletons in his closet the school used against him.
Coach P may have been a great coach but please be aware that within the school, he was not well respected by fellow faculty. He's rude and an asshole. That doesn't mean his firing (or attempt to) was justified but let's not pretend he was this stand up guy. He called kids names in class, made highly inappropriate comments about female students, even to the daughter of 2 faculty members. All of this stuff was bound to catch up with him at some point.
Dave needs to go but let's not make martyrs out of Mike and Coach P, they're history was gonna come up sooner or later and bite them in the ass.

From reading everything above, it appears to be administrative transfer time. This is the usual way matters are handled in FCPS. It's not exactly sweeping under the rug, it's called the dance of the lemons or shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. The phrase "if only" is pertinent. If only the football players had been dealt with appropriately. If only the sexual-harassment comments had been attended to immediately. If only the parent with the grievance had been dealt with when the events happened and not after-the-fact. If only . . .

Subject: Fwd: Attend School Board Meeting to Support LBSS Girls
Hello All,
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
I’m sure by now you’ve all seen the article from the 29 June Washington Post, titled "At Lake Braddock, sexual harassment accusations, personnel changes and lingering resentment." Unfortunately, everything written in the article is factual. Sadly, we have heard that many families in other sports at LBSS have had similar experiences where complaints have been ignored by our administration. In this event, the girls basketball team and their families have held LBSS and FCPS accountable to their own policies and are still awaiting resolution, now 20 months hence.
What we keep asking for is what ALL student athletes should receive: an appropriate response by school officials when a complaint is brought to their attention. But the 10+ families in the 2015-16 Varsity Girls Basketball Team received no investigation, were misled and dismissed. We were supposed to get a final report on 'The Investigation' in Spring 2016, then Fall 2016, then Winter, then Spring 2017, and finally the Washington Post report said we should have received it by July 4, 2017. FCPS has still not released a report.
Many of us are planning to attend the next School Board meeting in a silent “call to action.” We are asking for all LBSS teams, both boys and girls, and their families to join us as a show of support, as well as friends and families of other FCPS schools.
If you can make it, we are asking that you wear purple and attend the next regular school board meeting to be held this Thursday, July 13th at Luther Jackson Middle School. We are asking you to assemble outside at 6:30pm. The meeting starts at 7pm and we hope to go in and sit as the meeting begins. Signs are encouraged! Examples are “Protect our girls,” “Hold leadership accountable," ”Investigate!" and "What are you hiding?" We are not going to be disruptive – this is just to show that we are out there, and that we are expecting a full investigation that holds school officials accountable.
We want to get as many supporters as possible to show up at this meeting, so please ask friends and neighbors to attend. Please feel free to forward this email.
On behalf of the 2015-16 LBSS Girls Basketball Team,thank you in advance for your support!

Say what you want about P....I played for him and he gave me tough love....the best thing that could have happened to me. He made me accountable for my actions and its a lesson I still practice today. I didn't have a father figure in my life, he was man enough to show me actions speak louder then words. I will always be grateful. He always had my back.
Ask the players who played for him, they will tell you he taught you life's lessons. He was and still is very respected with all of the players, that's really was matters most.

Looks like the Parks are getting desperate with sending out the letter. She is talking out of both sides of her mouth because one sentence say "everything written in the article is factual" then the next paragraph says "Girls Basketball Team received no investigation". How can everything be factual when no investigation was done.

Why are you people so intrigued about who is forcing the issue, who cares?
The bottom line is that the girls on the BB team were put in a situation that never should have happened. When it was brought to the attention of the administration, nothing was done. It was further brought to the attention of the Principal, again nothing was done.
Dave Thomas handled it his way and now he must pay the price.
He fired 2 people because he knew they could possibly talk to FCPS investigators and they would find out he didn't do anything but try to sweep this under the rug.
Not only did he want both fired but he went after their teaching positions, retirement and pension. That is a sign of a desperate man.
I see no other course of action then for the FCPS board to terminate him and the rest of the administration at LB. Take away job, retirement pension, all of things he tried to do to the potentials witnesses.
Its time for the school board to send a message, this will not be tolerated.

Idk Bill Park - I do know his daughter was on the team. For everyone knocking him , are you saying it was fine that an investigation never occurred? If Coach G didn't do anything wrong, an investigation could've proved that and vice versa. Simple interviews of other bball coaches (JV) and other players never happened - jownis this okay? But now, he is able to coach anywhere and potentially cause the same kind of damage to other teams. That's okay in your eyes? Why is it so wrong for the student-athletes who reported this behavior to the school to get a fair report? No one is asking for anyone to get arrested, they wanted a fair investigation into the allegations - which never happened.

Poythress did not hire Ernesto to staff. Then Es son who weighs 450 cant make it thru practice. NEXT thing you know the school board is stopping at LB practices to see if staff is giving them water. Ernesto thinks he is a war hero...He Works for purple heart...I think he stepped on a nail. Hero's dont sire Hogs.
Anyway Park may well be an ass but he isnt facing Federal charges.

message from LAKE BRADDOCK SEC
Dear Lake Braddock Community,
As the Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools, I am committed to ensuring that all students attend school in an environment that is respectful, safe and where they feel a high degree of trust with the staff who serve them. Unfortunately, and regrettably, there have been some breaches of this trust at LBSS.
As you may have read in recent news reports, there have been allegations of Lake Braddock Secondary School staff bullying and harassing students, as well as concerns regarding the handling of these allegations during the 2015 – 2016 school year. Well before those news reports, we had undertaken an extensive investigation including numerous interviews of staff, students, parents.
Based upon that investigation, we have determined that certain staff did in fact engage in behavior that is not tolerated under FCPS policy. Those staff who violated those policies have been removed from their positions and appropriate personnel actions have been taken. These actions took place prior to the start of the 2016 – 2017 school year. While appropriate steps were taken prior to this school year, we must continually monitor the climate and culture of our schools, and ensure that we consistently strive to provide the learning environment our students deserve.
Please know that I have personally reviewed this matter and met with Principal Thomas regarding the actions and improvements he will take to ensure no such breaches of trust occur in the future. Principal Thomas will communicate with you directly regarding his commitment to you and your children.
I believe LBSS is a strong community, and an excellent school. We are certain the school year ahead will bring renewed focus on excellence in all areas of your child’s education.
Sincerely,
Dr. Scott Brabrand
Superintendent

Obviously scott brabrand was NOT fully informed by "his folks" @ the Ivory Tower on Gate House. While all this has been going down, the biggest "problem" or "Issue" he was dealing with down in Lynchburg was Mrs. Betty's cat was stuck up in a tree. He wasn't worried about anything of this magnitude down in farm country in Lynchburg. It's UNREAL
WELCOME TO THE COUNTY SCOTTY! "See No EVIL, Speak NO EVIL, Hear NO EVIL"
The Fairfax County School Board has selected Dr. Scott Brabrand as the finalist for the position of Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), pending final Board approval at its meeting June 8, 2017. Brabrand currently serves as the Superintendent of the Lynchburg City Schools in Lynchburg, Virginia. Brabrand previously worked at FCPS in numerous roles including Assistant Superintendent, principal of Fairfax High School, assistant principal, associate principal, and teacher.
“We are thrilled that Dr. Scott Brabrand has agreed to serve as finalist for the Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools,” said School Board Chair Sandy Evans. “Dr. Brabrand’s deep knowledge and understanding of FCPS, coupled with his creative leadership abilities, will ensure FCPS’ continued excellence serving our students, our schools, and our community. He brings a true passion for education and for FCPS. We look forward to working with him to further achieve our Portrait of Graduate vision and fully implement our strategic plan.
“I would also like to thank Dr. Steve Lockard for his stellar leadership as Interim Superintendent during this period of transition, especially for guiding the school system through a challenging budget process. We look forward to Dr. Lockard continuing in his role of Deputy Superintendent.”
Brabrand was selected as finalist following a nationwide search led by the firm of Hazard, Young, Attea and Associates (HYA). The Board received input from parents, employees, and the community before candidates were brought forward. The Board initially interviewed candidates in early February before narrowing the field for second interviews. A committee of nineteen staff and community members interviewed semi-finalists and provided feedback to the Board prior to the finalist selection.
“Almost 25 years ago, I fell in love with Fairfax County Public Schools. It is the ultimate honor and privilege to return as a servant-leader for this school system and for the entire Fairfax County community,” said Brabrand. “FCPS teachers, students, and parents are deeply committed to success and I look forward to harnessing that enthusiasm to continue achieving the high standards set for ourselves. It will be critical for me to listen and learn from all our stakeholders to see how we can best work collaboratively to address our challenges and ensure we meet the ever evolving needs of our students and community.”
Braband earned his bachelor of science in foreign service degree in international economics from Georgetown University in 1990, and his master’s degree in education from The George Washington University. In 2003, he completed his doctoral work in educational leadership and policy from Virginia Tech. Prior to joining FCPS as an employee, he served as a volunteer at FCPS while working as assistant manager for Bell Atlantic.
Following Board approval, it is anticipated Brabrand will begin a four-year term on July 10, 2017.

A message from LAKE BRADDOCK SEC
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Earlier today, you received a message from FCPS Superintendent Dr. Scott Brabrand explaining the review conducted by his office into the allegations of bullying and harassment of students by members of the Lake Braddock Secondary School (LBSS) staff during the 2015 -2016 school year. As Dr. Brabrand expressed to you, there was a breach of trust between students and staff and I appreciate the confidence that Dr. Brabrand has in my office to take the necessary steps to ensure that, going forward, we have the proper safeguards in place to protect our students.
There is a perception among some in the community that our investigation of these allegations was less than thorough. I want to assure you, as I did for Dr. Brabrand that we will actively pursue and investigate any and all allegations of sexual harassment or other allegations of inappropriate behavior reported by staff or students.
I have spent more than 25 years as a teacher and school administrator guided by the principle that our primary responsibility as educators is the safety and well-being of all FCPS students. I would never compromise the safety of our students to shield the school, my staff, or myself from criticism or accountability.
I believe that in my role as principal, I should be held to a higher standard for the manner in which I supervise and manage school operations. However, under the law, there are restrictions regarding information that can be disclosed when it involves investigations of, and disciplinary actions taken against, school employees. Please understand that non-disclosure does not mean inaction. FCPS has established policies and procedures to properly investigate allegations of sexual harassment, violations of Title IX, or other allegations of inappropriate behavior.
I also need your assistance in maintaining a safe school environment. If you or your student has any awareness of misconduct, even if not personally involved, please report the nature of the incident to my office so it can be promptly investigated.
I want to emphasize again that our first priority is to maintain a safe environment for our students to learn and participate in school activities, free from harassment or intimidation. You have my pledge that my office and the LBSS staff will continue to place the interests of our students above all else. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Lake Braddock Secondary School.
Sincerely,
David F. Thomas
Principal

So the Superintendent did nothing?
Lets review this, coach P was terminated because he called a player names on the football field, I guess they are terming that bullying. Never mind that he was a witness who collaborate the girls story.
Dave Thomas keeps his job even though he put the girls BB team in a very risky situation by not even looking into the complaints from the girls themselves. they didn't interview one single person.
Sounds like a fair trade off....calling football players names...well that's just sooo horrible, how will we ever live with that....but girls being sexually harassed...who cares about that! I am sure they probably deserved it...right Dave?
The Superintendent may have confidence in Thomas, but how can anyone of the parents? If your daughter was in that same situation would you want to rely on Dave Thomas to remedy the situation?

You people don't get it. They have to protect Dave Thomas so FCPS will never admit to doing anything wrong in this, if they do, they open themselves up for a massive law suit from the girls on the BB team.
They need to reach out to Gloria Allred, civil rights lawyer who is noted for taking controversial cases. She has been particularly involved with cases involving the protection of women's rights.
As far as Poythress, I'm sure he is going to get a real nice check to go away quietly.

The federal lawsuit will bring in Gloria Allred, when she comes in, this will be a national story.
The FCPS will be thoroughly investigated and the amount of cover ups and total ineptness of the school board administration will be on display, this new superintendent will not be in the this position very long. He had a chance to clean up this mess and failed! The minimum he should have done, would be remove Thomas from hi position at LB
Stay tuned because this is going to get really messy

So according to the new article in the Washington Post, FCPS found the Girls BB coach did sexually harass the girls, however, he was never interviewed nor were the girls. So how do they know?
Thomas says he holds his self to a higher standard then everyone else, this happened on your watch Dave, so you are responsible for this. You fired the football coach because he was a witness, oh yea and he called a player a name on the field. So if you are held to a higher standard, then you should be gone too.
Dave Thomas did nothing but to act on the complaints, so the new Superintendent decides, lets give Dave another chance, if this happens again he will know what to do. Ok, yea. I trust that is the right decision.
What parent in their right mind is going have confidence that their students are in a safe environment at LB, with Thomas still there.
Federal charges are being filled, so Dave is still not out of the water

Why did Lake Braddock over react to a football coach calling someone a name and fire him, but, not even investigate something as serious as sexual harassment in the girls basketball program?
Come on, its football anyone that has played the game, knows that part of it.
It doesn't matter if its Politically Correct or not. My parents taught me the saying "stick and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me"
This has gotten way out of control, what is next, no contact on other players in football practice? Everyone must play? No keeping score?
Why is this embattled Principal be given a second chance on monitoring bullying sexual harassment, etc of the students at Lake Braddock since he did nothing on this the first time around. He should be held accountable and pay the consequences of his actions. Why wasn't he reassigned or terminated if this all happened while he was in charge?

Dave is a passive, slimy wimp. He praises all teachers even those who are incompetent and terrible to students; God knows, he won't get rid of them. The good ones are overworked and under-appreciated. Friends who retired or left can't stand Dave. They didn't leave because of students or parents; they left because the administration sucks and the school has gone down hill.
Here's my prediction. The parents won't give up (nor should they). The FCPS mafia will continue to stonewall. In the meantime, Dave's son (now a senior, I think) will be allowed to graduate. Then, hopefully, Dave will quietly be moved to some other school or an unimportant ivory tower position. The parents and community will, ultimately, get what they want. And FCPS/Dave will save face which is of utmost importance to them.
Thankfully, my kids have graduated. But as a homeowner in this community, having a quality school is critical to maintaining the value of our property.
Hopefully, Poythress got a good settlement even if he hasn't been publicly vindicated. The kids who love him don't need anyone to tell them how much he cared for and helped then, even if his methods were not politically correct.

What's going to happen is Thomas will be taken down in the Federal case, which means he will loses his job, pension, retirement...everything!
Sounds pretty harsh, right? Oh wait that what he tried to do with the AD and football coach. Karma has a way of coming back Dave...Stay tuned!
This will finally give LB the cleaned house they have needed for the last 10 years. All of the administrators, AD and assessment teachers whatever that is, will be terminated

Poythress, unfortunately, is not politically correct. He does and says things all of us from that generation did, like, fag, retard, etc....
In today's sissified world, people like that are called racist, sexist, homophobic, mean spirited, you name it, even if they're genuinely good people.
This is a big part of the reason Trump won the electon , because a lot of people are so sick of that bullshit. But the people that run the schools, you can be sure, are not the people who voted for Donald Trump.

Who cares if he called people names, it should not be grounds for firing or removal from a coaching position, it ridiculous!!
Putting the girls BB team in a awkward position of dealing with sexual harassment and not doing anything about it should be grounds for termination.
Whether Poythress was/is PC or not, he at least was willing to defend the girls by letting the authorities know what was happening.
I would certainly rather have someone who is not so PC but still does the right things when it comes down to the safety of my kids.
What kind of leader is Dave Thomas when he throws everyone under the bus, when the shit hits the fan? Is Thomas who you want responsible for the safety of your kids? good luck!!!

Why did FCPS HR try to work a coaching swap for Poythress? He was to be sent to Hayfield in exchange for Henderson. Let's not talk about coaching credentials! The point is that FCPS obviously wasn't concerned about Poythress leading a team.
When it was seen as impossible politically they opened the LB job. We all know the 2 best candidates were Henderson and the West Pot coach. Ol Dave didn't want Poythress at the helm at those schools so he picked the WTW guy
If this was actually about being PC why didn't Thomas just call Poythress in and say we are going in a different direction?
The point is that nothing adds up except retaliation against an employee. And why? Because one small minded weakling was afraid.

Its simple, Thomas can control the guy from Woodson. He will do exactly what they tell he is going to do. They wanted someone who was more of a cheer leader type coach and winning wasn't even considered. I checked this guys record and he hasn't had a lot of success anywhere he has been. In other words a safe choice
Coach Doc or whatever his name is,knows he wasn't the best qualified coach for the job. in fact, he may have been the least qualified of the ones who were interviewed, so he is a yes man for Thomas and Kerns.
If Henderson or Ross from West Pot would have been selected, they would have more clout to run the program how they saw fit. Thomas was against that. So they went with the safe pick.
This coaching choice will set LB back a few years it may be sometime before you see LB on top team again, but by then Thomas will be gone

The clown (or clowns) on here defending Thomas and squeaking about Bill Park, including the post above, are morons. Whether you like Park or not is immaterial, The girls BB issue is a legitimate problem. One that was mishandled from beginning to end and which cost people their jobs. Park is on the right side of this in that he is defending the girls and wants heads to roll over the blatant sweeping under the rug that Thomas attempted. Anyone with inside knowledge of this situation knows that ALL the negative things being said about Thomas are completely true. He botched his handling of the girls BB situation. When things went sideways on him, he threw Clark under the bus, then he went after P when his name showed up as a witness for the girls. None of that is up for debate, it's what happened, period.
As for the comments related to Henderson and Ross not being hired, they're also accurate. Both are more successful coaches than the guy from WTW. Even if Henderson has baggage, that doesn't account for overlooking Ross. Thomas knew if P got the job at Hayfield or West Potomac he'd be back to hang half a hundred on LB and rub it in Thomas' face year in and year out. If you think the WTW hire wasn't a direct result of that fear, as well as just another stab at P, then you can add idiot to go with your well earned title of moron.

I've asked this question before, but didn't get much response. So, I'll try again.
I still don't get the "Thomas firing Poythress because he was a witness" angle.
How does getting Poythress out of the building prevent him from testifying as to what he knows about the girls BB situation, if in fact he did no something?
He can still be a witness whether he's teaching at LB or not, right?
It still doesn't add up for me. I guess most of us will really know exactly what happened.

Good question, I think there are two possible options:
1) Thomas is not that bright - while some may agree, in my experience all the admin types in FCPS are very politically savvy (seems more important than competence). I think this option is unlikely.
2) Thomas tried to pressure Coach P to keep silent on the Girl's BB situation using his coaching job as leverage, i.e. "Keep quiet if you want to keep your job!" If this happened I guarantee that Coach P told him to Fuck Off!

IKnowP,
o.k., if option 2 is correct, then it seems Poythress would have testified against Thomas, since he lost his job. But no one seems to know whether Poythress was asked questions about the incident or not, because it's all confidential.
That's what I mean about us not really knowing. Unless one is able to speak directly with Poythress, no one really knows exactly what happened.

Once Coach P was discipline/fired by the LB admin, you can argue anything he says as a witness that make the principal look bad is simply sour grapes and retaliation. It also might make an investigator question his credibility, since, he now has an ax to grind against the principal.
Firing the coach also serves as a warning to other faculty.

Doesn't seem plausible. A lot of time elapsed between when Poythress was questioned/disciplined and when he was fired. He certainly would have told other people about what was happening and they could back up his story. Moreover, he could sue the shit out of fcps for what they did.

There is a lawsuit against FCPS brought on under the whistleblower rights.
Coach P will receive a very nice payout under this suit....In Thomas's effort to screw over Coach P and sweep this this whole Girls BB incident under the rug, he inadvertently made him a very rich man.
So see Dave, karma does have a way of paying pack.
The federal hearings will be next with a very prominent Attorney representing the Girls BB program, so stay tuned.

Its a personnel matter and you will not know the outcome. Move the hell on. Your girls are NOT in danger, the perps are gone. You need to focus on your jobs, family etc. The real danger here are the individuals trying to rally all you mindless fools and get you angry for no reason.

Ernesto's dad posting on here again!
No one is going to just step away from this. This whole LB fiasco was caused by Dave Thomas.
He put innocent girls in jeopardy and tried to cover it up.
He fired 2 people and tried to ruin their careers
Until he is held accountable for this, no one is going away

The truth of the matter is that if Dave Thomas disappears so will the controversy. Conversely, this is one scandal that will linger until after the legal proceedings and possibly longer if Thomas remains.

Will we ever have transparency? FCPS should blackout names and turn over their findings. Let the Post evaluate what went down. If Park is wrong will say so. If the Post was inaccurate they will retracked. If FCPS is wrong????? They get sued? NOW, IF FCPS knows they are right it equals total vindication and increases faith in taxpayers, correct? So why is FCPS closing ranks? Why did the new superintendent get involved. That was a rookie mistake

Don't be surprised if some new players step up. This could very well develop into a national story.

Follow the School Board for any length of time and you will understand. They screwed up the JEB Stuart renaming situation that they are now looking for the Superintendent to bail them out with a magic fix whereas they are supposed to be providing leadership for the schools. If they are dealing with something that requires leadership they are lost.

Dave Thomas will be out the door before school starts.
All of his supporters will be out the door shortly afterwards.
When they remove Thomas, its likely they will clean house and get rid of all the dead weight.
All of the sub school principals on down to the AD, the assessment teachers, so look for a lot of new faces this coming year

All of this is the result of one parent?!
Then the same parent who invoked his power is the cause of the football coach being dismissed; one who was as successful as anyone ever at LB, yet more consistent.
Same parent caused the firing of the AD.
Same parent whose son is no angel by any stretch.
Same parent who destroyed the morale of what once was a great school.
All of it. LOL
You reap what you sow. The collateral damage was the football coach along with the entire program. Now same parent wants the new AD gone too? Ok, let us know how that works out.
Never forget - what goes around, ALWAYS comes around.
You made waves with the girls basketball coach and his reported inappropriate actions - actions for which no investigation took place - and it got him fired. Fine. That's what you wanted. And maybe he should have been fired. You should've stopped there. You wanted more. You got more.
What a big man you must feel you are. Congratulations to you sir. You took down P and you had no intention of doing so. That's 100% on YOU.
There was no sexual assault. If there had been one, an arrest would've been made. No sir, no corruption at LB either. This is all YOU. Always remember that.

This is not about one parent, this is about a principal who did not do the right thing. When he was called out, he threw everyone else under the bus!
I agree that Park's actions inadvertently got P fired, However, Coach P should have never been fired, that was all on the principal, how do you explain that one? All of a sudden when Thomas saw Poyhthress's name on a witness list, he took him down. That is corruption my friend. Look up "whistleblower protection"
Coach P may not be the most PC person, but he seems to be the only one who was going to do the right thing in this situation and he was fired because of it. I hope he collects a huge settlement from FCPS and that will be all on Dave Thomas
The new AD is part of the Principal inner circle, he was the "lackey" who did all the dirty work for Thomas, he should have used better judgement, he needs to go as well
Thomas needs to pay the price for the damage he caused, ruining careers, damage to reputations and killing a once very proud football program, that's all on Thomas, so I support Park going after him.

This has been the topic of conversation for people of Burke thru out the summer.
Most of the parents and students are tired of seeing LB name being dragged through the mud.
I agree with a previous poster who said clean house, get rid of all of them and start fresh.
I just don't see this going away unless a fresh start is initiated. The new Superintendent needs to reevaluate this case.
Have the parents vote if they have confidence in Dave Thomas or not. I would think at this time, it would be a vote of no confidence in him.
If the parents are getting the high profile attorney on this case as posted, this will get even worse.

Isn't a bit premature to say the football program has been "killed" not one official practice has taken place let alone a scrimmage or a game. Why not hold off and give Doc a chance. I haven't heard of any kids not playing or transferring out of LB cause the old coach got fired.
Before you say new coach never won, let's look at where he came from, not the demographics that LB has had that's for sure, anyone can win with superior talent, look at Barry Switzer.

I saw Poythress in Burke today at dentist. Seemed the same. Said he thinks LB should win at least 8. Said he wants the kids to do well and that he likes Coach Doc. I thought he would be angry.So 8 wins is doing the job. LB fans can live with 7 maybe a year with just 6, but anything less¿

That's just an excuse coaches who don't/can't win use. coach the players you have and stop complaining. Doc has not shown he can win at the lower levels or he would have gotten opportunities before this. If you build the program people will want to come play. He hasn't done that anywhere he has been.
If you are trying to call out coach P and compare Doc to him, that would be ridiculous.
Most of the coaches in the region were happy Doc got the job, the other 2 candidates were very established coaches and would have kept the program thriving.
The belief is that Doc isn't on the same level. Just keepin it real
Prove everyone wrong...... win some games!!!

I agree with the poster above, too many times coaches are quick to blame the players not having the talent as the reason they cant win. I don't know coach Doc, but if he is making excuses about why he didn't win at past places, then he needs to look no further then himself.
Look at Madison, Hayfield, South Lakes Falls Church and even Mt Vernon, those coaches put the time in and built or rebuilt their programs. They may not compete with Westfield right now, but they are building the program and getting the players out to compete. That what coaching is, getting the most out of the players, the team with the most talent doesn't always win. Good coaching can win games as well.
Westfield has won 2 straight titles and both years the team they played had more talent,but coaching was the difference.

The reading comprehension of the last 2 posters are just abysmal. Look at what he posted, never mind let me try and spell it out for you.
1. All you LB pple are killing Doc before he's had a chance, wait and see what he does first.
2. Doc has improved each school he's been at so imagine (I know it's hard w/your small narrow minds but try) what he can do with the above talent level he now has access to at LB.
3. No one compared Doc to coach P. The poster did in a round about way compare coach P to Barry Switzer which was a poor example, Switzer actually won a championship at college and pros. Coach P is more like Marty Shottenheimer, good regular season, can't get over the hump in the post season.
Now if LB only manages 7 wins in the regular season then have at it and call for Doc to be fired but wait til the season starts. You haven't lost any kids this off season because of the scandal so no need for all the doom & gloom.

Why do you have to get personal with the person posting, they were only giving their opinion, just like you gave yours.
So should I say you are an idiot for thinking Doc is a winner?
Where has he proved that?
1. LB people, as you called them, expect to win, 5-5 6-4 will not cut it at LB
2. Woodson won state titles in boys BB and Lacrosse and are very competitive in all sports, there is talent in the school, Doc didn't want to take the time to develop it.
3. LB schedule doesn't favor them at all.
Westfield, Stonebridge, West Potomac, Robinson, South County and Oakton 3-3 would be lucky. Most likely 2-4 in this stretch. If they stumble against West Springfield or Woodson, the season would be a complete failure.
4.LB record for 2017 5-5 at best 6-4
Why waste time, us LB people are starting the call for him early.

Last I checked how many state appearances did old coach P make, I think it would be the same number as Doc.

Sounds like someone got Docs panties all up in a wad.
Bottom line is Doc, you haven't dome anything on the football field to gain the regions respect. Win some meaningful games at Braddock and people will shut up.
I agree you should be given a chance to see what you can do. However, when you have your people coming on this board and tell people you have the best staff in the state, well your going to get blasted.
As far as trying to compare coach P to coach Doc, one has won more games at LB then any other coach in its history, that includes a coaching icon Francis Dall.
I wish Doc all the success and hope he can live up to his predecessors

Right now LB has the talent to go 8-2 or 9-1 and make a deep playoff run.
Anything less then that is a failure on the coaches.

Still P hasn't won anything to be held in such high esteem.
Just saying give new staff a shot before you crucify them.

Hey faggot, shut up! Maybe shift some of the blame to the parents for not being good parents and having open lines of communication with their girls that they couldn't come tell them of the situation and take action while it was happening.
Title of thread "sexual assault" is a bit of hyperbole. OP must write for the Enquirer.

Woodson has as good of an overall athletic program as LB, they won state titles in BB, Lacrosse, competitive in baseball, if Doc and staff are so great, why didn't they stay at Woodson and build the program? They would have gained a lot more respect doing it that way, then moving on.
When Trey Taylor was at Woodson, they were competing for region titles.
I think the right coaching staff at Woodson, could turn things around and they could be as competitive as anyone else in the region.
I guess Doc and staff didn't want to put the work in to build a program that would have his name on it. It always easier to take a winning program and jump on the bus

Gutless FCPS employee XYEBT, Did you really blame the parents of the underage girls whose lives were changed forever by these lowlifes? And call OP a faggot? If you weren't hiding behind your computer and showed your face, I'd pay to see those girls beat the living crap out of you.

Yes, I have been told by a few recruiters that LB was the only school that put effort into finding a school for everyone. Other coaches were helpful to college coaches, but Poytress actually made phone calls for kids to generate interest, rather than just reacting to calls from colleges.

Years from now, people will be asking how it was possible for FCPS to screw this up so badly at every single step. From the initial coverup, to the retribution, to the imaginary "investigation' to the stonewalling by the Gatehouse, to the brand new superintendent blowing off the case in his very first week in office, to the utterly useless school board failing to take action ......
This is the kind of story that eventually ends up on Dateline or 20/20.
You couldn't make this stuff up.
And all to protect one of their own. I agree with the guy who said 'this makes me sick.'

This could be the shortest tenure of any FCPS superintendent.
If this blows up like it possibly could, then look for a lot of school board resignations along with the resignation of the superintendent.
At minimum, you will see all of the admin staff at LB reassigned or terminated.
Karma always has way of coming back around

Nothing will happen. FCPS may cut corners, but not on their legal counsel. You can be sure that the new superintendent checked the legalities. FCPS is truly good at protecting its own - administration that is. Doubt there will be any shuffling of personnel. All they will do is institute more training for coaches and teachers to prevent sexual harassment. Probably most SB members were unaware of what occurred until the WaPost article.

If a certain high profile civil rights attorney comes in like some are saying, this would blow up really fast with national news coverage.
You have one of the largest and affluent school systems in the country that is ranked in the top 5 in terms of education and they did nothing to protect female students from a potentially harmful situation.
I am not sure that FCPS SB would want that type of news coverage and would be more agreeable to some sort of reasonable settlement.
The LB admin staff is on its way out, you can bet on that. I cant imagine any other way to make this situation right.

New Supt totally f'd this one up in his first week in his $450,000 job and the spineless FCPS hacks are getting nervous -- realizing they might have put their own bloated asses in the line of fire. All along, they they thought victims would forget about this. They haven't. Gatehouse parasites, LBSS lackeys, and impotent school board getting really nervous. They should be.

After reading the second WaPo article, did the county claim the parents complaint against LB's handling of the situation unfounded OR the sexual harassment allegations itself were unfounded? I believe it was the latter right?
Those of you who think anything substantial will happen, I'm sorry to break it to you but FCPS has done far worse. At LB alone, there are 2 admins who were dumped there from other schools for doing shady stuff (sexual harassment of teachers, hacking into email etc.). There are 2 admins who got their position through nepotism. Dave himself has never left since high school which I think shouldn't be allowed. He has too many emotional connections to staff and the school that he doesn't know how to lead.

Folks, look for the old "S" to hit the the fan in the coming days as school is about to open. There are a whole bunch of angry parents who have been waiting in the summer wings. Dave Thomas is done. The big question is how bad is this going to get? The Feds are investigating, new players have joined the game, and even the idiots on the school board are getting nervous. The new superintendent is likely to serve the shortest term ever at FCPS. And the natives are getting restless. Good luck, bureaucrats. For once, the children are going to win.

If there was any truth to this "story" even one iota, all parties involved would've been reprimanded by now in some way, shape, or form. Say what you will about FCPS, the school board, etc., but if nothing else, understand this:
The team of lawyers who represent FCPS and its interests investigate every single allegation - regardless if fabricated or not - no matter who initiated the complaint. If anyone thinks those lawyers are incompetent or have otherwise overlooked, botched, turned a blind eye, or simply did not investigate this incident thoroughly at nauseam, then I am disappoint for you and anyone else who believes similar.
As a lawyer whose children attended Lake Braddock through both middle and high school, I followed this story at its inception. I must confess it has proven to be very disappointing as I continue to read the disdain some parents feel for the Lake Braddock administration, even after the allegations have proven to be unfounded. While I am absolutely sure the parent or group of parents are angry the resulting outcome was less than desirable, it was my hope some form of healing would have taken place at the conclusion of the school board meeting and the subsequent Washington Post article which followed.
If those who still find themselves pining for another, yet different result pertaining to the alleged incident, continue to seek the outcome they feel is just, if only in their eyes, the Lake Braddock community cannot begin to heal.
My deepest fear is what our children are bearing witness to, which is that of adults who are continually demanding change because the desired outcome, regardless of the event, is less than what they wanted. And those within the Lake Braddock administration have not been punished for their indiscretions, which inflames the heated desires to do whatever is necessary, no matter who it may hurt, to have someone, anyone, finally see that the wrong still has yet to be righted.

Yeah, they did a real bang up job in the Sean Lanigan case!
If you're a real lawyer, you know by now that it's not just the sexual harassment claim but the retaliation against a whistle blower.

The whistle blower? There was no whistle blower. Reading the previous threads, I believe it was stated somewhere that Poythreas was reprimanded for continually allow Chance's access into the building without checking in.
There is nothing here. It's time to let this go. Things are as such that the selfish vindictiveness of a few has run its course. The only thing left is to continue to inflame and ridicule all parties within the Lake Braddock administration. However, I am of the opinion it has run its course, with the distinct positing possibility that crying wolf has since begun to fall on deaf ears.

Regardless of what did or did not happen, the reason this won't die is that too many in the community want a change. Dave Thomas has been the principal for nearly ten years. Many of us, both parents and teachers, have experienced his blind-eye, put a happy face on everything destruction of Lake Braddock. Not that it isn't still a fine school...my kids had some amazing teachers there. But they also had some that should have gotten the boot long ago. From Dave's perspective, they were all "nice" and the kids "were lucky to have them". The thing is, bad teachers affect not only students; they hurt other teachers as well. And then the good teachers leave. Also, people are just tired of the good 'ol boys...even the young ones for whom special jobs are created and the path to power cleared.
Mark my word...Matt Thomas will be allowed to finish the year as a senior, but once he graduates, Dave will be quietly moved to some admin job where he can push paper.

I call bullshit on the Poythress law suit.
1) It is nowhere on the internet.
2) VA has very restrictive rules for whistle blowing/retaliation including:
a) Two year time line - this is almost up
b) Focus on termination. What was the harm to him - he still has his teaching job, albeit at a different school. I suppose you could say this was retaliation, but what is the harm in dollars - he has to drive a little further? He would not get much for this.
c) His coaching job is not a termination/retailiation since they simply did not renew his annual coaching contract.
Federal whistle blowing laws are much less restrictive/lucrative, but those don't apply in this case.

b) Focus on termination. What was the harm to him - he still has his teaching job, albeit at a different school. I suppose you could say this was retaliation, but what is the harm in dollars - he has to drive a little further? He would not get much for this.
c) His coaching job is not a termination/retailiation since they simply did not renew his annual coaching contract.
Federal whistle blowing laws are much less restrictive/lucrative, but those don't apply in this case.

There are always “bad” teachers, “bad” bosses, “bad” neighbors. The fact is, your “bad” is not the same as my “bad”. We are not always understood and appreciated for the star that we are. Not everyone is going to like us and treat us how we deserve to be treated; and principals, head of corporations or other neighbors are not going to see things our way or understand what our problem is.

Heads up. This is a federal case now. DOJ and DOE Civil Rights Divisions do not need to consult with you FCPS/LBSS trolls while they are conducting investigations. Nor do they consider your pre-approved blogging when considering the merits of an investigation. In fact, it may work against you. Think twice before you post something stupid. Whoops, too late dumbasses.

The retaliation against Poythress is a symptom of a system-wide infection. FCPS has principals and HR administrators who believe that FCPS is their personal kingdom. Rules don't apply to them and they can violate rules to achieve their own goals.
We lawyers who work on behalf of FCPS can only act upon and react to the information we are provided. The infection must be treated with the removal of the diseased parts: Thomas, Sills . ..
Only then will students, parents and teachers be able to thrive in a system that is trusted and respected because it follows and enforces its own rules.
All should be glad that there are those who fight for what is right for the benefit of all: the parents seeking justice for the girls basketball players; the dad who has written to LBSS faculty and the school board about Thomas; Bogage of the Washington Post; and all who support Poythress.

I feel bad for the football kids and their families but I still feel really bad for those underage girls who had their lives f'd up forever when they were sold out by those who were paid magnificent salaries to look out for them. Let's hope the kids are ok after all this. God bless them and their families. I guess God will sort it out in the end. Does anybody know where the school board is on this?

You have not been able to produce one bit of information since this thread started back on June 29th. Here is what I have found out so far. Oh, and the pictures of Clark and some students has no bearing on the Sexual Assault that did not happen. If it was a problem today, why wasn't it an issue when you took the photo..Dumbass
The football coach who left LBSS has a history of using racial and homophobic slurs and was caught again.
I don't know why FCPS fired coach G for sexual comments but not Poythress.
He treated us terribly on the team and I'm glad my kids will be playing football only after he retires.
I wonder how many of these posts are by Jim Poythress himself...
and poythress has always called students fags and retards in his class. they had to remove him from his job as a psych teacher because he was giving students the answers to exams and spent most of the class trying to impress his football players by bragging about how much weed he used to smoke. its all pretty sad actually, but im not surprised that a bunch of adults who still follow HS sports and drama think he's a good guy. when he talks to his players and students he puts on an ebonic affectation like hes jamie kennedy in malibu's most wanted. he's a turd.
In weight training class a few years ago, Poythress stood behind a girl from the basketball team and mouthed over and over, "bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch." He looked like a middle schooler with his tidy whities in a wad. Very embarrassed for him.
AND THIS IS WHERE ALL THE PROBLEMS STARTED. THE SAME ONE THAT CONTACTED THE WASHINGTON POST TO HELP THEM WRITE THE ARTICLE
Bill Park
^^^ Agreed. Sour grapes, nobody hurts his snowflake (aka delivers consequences)and gets away with it. Heard from a reliable source that UMD got an anonymous letter about "the truth". Too many people really know what happened that night. Hopefully it's front page news in the WashPo when they dig up the details. Old man Park can go sit down.
Jp is a liar. He could never win the big game...ran his mouth like he was one of the kids. He knew about his players being drunk in a car at 3am back in Oct. Didnt want to loose his D1 player. So he tried to hide it. Maybe if D1 daddy and his wrestling coach buddy didnt try to hide it...things would have been different. If you want an investigation against someone, look at D1 daddy who is using his job to influence the school board. More to come...........
Bill Park will have to live with the fact that his obsession with taking down the LB Principal and covering for his son indirectly caused Coach Poythress to loose his job and forever stained this coach’s legacy.

^^One of the truest things on this site.
i have met JP... Maturity is not his strong suit..
After reading these posts its my opinion that this coach was a mean spirited person. Calling someone Faggot or Bitch as it has been reported is unacceptable in today's society. I applaud Fairfax County for taking action on this what sounds like a another Donald Trump minded person. There is no room in this wonderful county for people like this to be here. Get the evil ones out.
It makes me sick. What a cesspool.
Truth always wins! Bill Park and his nastiness is coming back to haunt him and everyone he associates himself with. Elizabeth Schultz and Megan McLaughlin - you are being judged on the company you keep. Mr. Park is bad news and those caught in his web of lies are drop'n like flies!! Those he is against are WINNING!

Great recap above^^^
Don't forget this great nugget of truth.
With all due respect to the fine journalism of the WP, there is so much wrong with this story--I'm not even sure where to begin.
For one, why is a school board member, Elizabeth Schultz, commenting on personnel matters? Isn't the school board in the business of making policies that benefit students? Not interjecting in public comments and judgments about school employees? Seeing as though your piece contradicts that, I think much of the school community would find your article to be tabloid journalism at best.
Second, how is it that one parent, who has a daughter on the basketball team and a son on the football team, is able to spin the facts of two unrelated incidents? The information you present from that parent's side of the story is nonsense and completely unreliable, disgraceful coming from a national newspaper as reputable as yours. You claim to have 2400 emails, and if that is true, you should have emails between Mr. Poythress and this parent coordinating a plot to fire the principal with the help of their, once again, all too involved school board member. Why would these two men want to do such a thing with the help of their school board member?
Third, you picked this story up way after it left the station and negated to include where it first began. That is, on the Fairfax County Parkway at 2 AM when a car of five of Lake Braddock's football players was pulled over by a fairfax county police officer, all found to be intoxicated, and all released to their parents with ZERO charges pressed for committing a real and dangerous crime. Mr. Bogage, if you are looking to inform the public on this issue, start where it began, and include everything. Write about how these five white teenagers were released from life ruining charges with nothing on them, write about how when FCPS took action against these individuals (in the form of enforcing the Participation Policy), the same parent who was mentioned earlier. The SAME parent (whose daughter is one the basketball team and coincidentally has a son on the football team) was INFURIATED by that, and is what actually ended Mr. Poythress' tenure as the football coach at Lake Braddock because he failed to report it to the administration.
Now, the story you compiled is not investigative enough, as you missed a HUGE part of the story. That police report is available to the public, as is all of the information I just said. That's a story, THAT's the truth. Write about the continuous behavior of parents that don't hold their kids accountable, don't allow them to fail, and don't allow them to feel the consequences of their actions, which might we mention would be completely different if the socioeconomic status and race of these unnamed people changed. There's your story, and the story you have, it's simply wrong, and it's not doing the justice you want it to, I can assure you. I know what's happening.
Don't forget this great nugget of truth.

Second, how is it that one parent, who has a daughter on the basketball team and a son on the football team, is able to spin the facts of two unrelated incidents? The information you present from that parent's side of the story is nonsense and completely unreliable, disgraceful coming from a national newspaper as reputable as yours. You claim to have 2400 emails, and if that is true, you should have emails between Mr. Poythress and this parent coordinating a plot to fire the principal with the help of their, once again, all too involved school board member. Why would these two men want to do such a thing with the help of their school board member?
Third, you picked this story up way after it left the station and negated to include where it first began. That is, on the Fairfax County Parkway at 2 AM when a car of five of Lake Braddock's football players was pulled over by a fairfax county police officer, all found to be intoxicated, and all released to their parents with ZERO charges pressed for committing a real and dangerous crime. Mr. Bogage, if you are looking to inform the public on this issue, start where it began, and include everything. Write about how these five white teenagers were released from life ruining charges with nothing on them, write about how when FCPS took action against these individuals (in the form of enforcing the Participation Policy), the same parent who was mentioned earlier. The SAME parent (whose daughter is one the basketball team and coincidentally has a son on the football team) was INFURIATED by that, and is what actually ended Mr. Poythress' tenure as the football coach at Lake Braddock because he failed to report it to the administration.
Now, the story you compiled is not investigative enough, as you missed a HUGE part of the story. That police report is available to the public, as is all of the information I just said. That's a story, THAT's the truth. Write about the continuous behavior of parents that don't hold their kids accountable, don't allow them to fail, and don't allow them to feel the consequences of their actions, which might we mention would be completely different if the socioeconomic status and race of these unnamed people changed. There's your story, and the story you have, it's simply wrong, and it's not doing the justice you want it to, I can assure you. I know what's happening.

Dear Ernesto's dad and other morons... your rants are transparent and you're all a laughingstock. Any failure to deal with a known drinking violation rests with the Principle, period, Principle Thomas and the rest of the administration were well aware of the infraction even though the arresting officer showed mercy on the young men. Just or unjust, it was the officers decision to not officially charge the players. No one but the officer had any authority over that decision.
As for the matter of the schools participation policy, that ultimately rests with the Principle, not the coach. The Principle was fully aware, he knew all the facts, nothing was hidden from him or unknown, and he made the final decision to allow the kids to play. Poythress communicated everything he knew about the event to Thomas, and Thomas made the call. These are the facts. Principle Thomas was the judge and jury in this case, the buck stops at the top. As such, any decision rests squarely on the shoulders of Principle Thomas. By your own logic (or lack thereof) Principle Thomas buckled to pressure from parents, one in particular. OK, that proves further ineptitude on the part of Principle Thomas as he clearly shirked his duty to uphold the schools stated participation policies. Instead, he chose to violate those very policies and reinstated the guilty players without punishment. He caved and allowed the offending kids to play. Is that leadership? Poythress has no authority to override the Principle in this instance, none. Thomas made the call, the blame is his alone. As an aside, why would Park hold a grudge on that count? He got his way, no?
Further, your attempts to conflate the matter of underage drinking with the girls basketball/harassment case is laughable. Coach Poythress was not unjustly targeted by Principle Thomas for the matter of underage drinking. An issue in which Poythress had no control, in which he fully complied with the rules, and in which Principle Thomas made the final ruling. Poythress was never in the crosshairs for anything even remotely connected to the underage drinking issue. That's pure absurdity. Poythress was targeted, expressly, because he was listed as a witness to the fact that Thomas was well aware of the harassment matter and purposefully "slow played" the girls basketball investigation. A clear violation of law, as well as county policy. The matter of underage drinking and the harassment case are two distinctly different issues. Both of them horribly botched by Principle Thomas. Any attempt to cast blame elsewhere is a joke, and those spreading that nonsense are morons.

I believe it is about the harassment of underage girls by a coach and the subsequent coverup by the AD and principal and a bogus investigation by FCPS -- and an impotent, gutless Democrat school board made up of creatures who look like the folks taking calls at a PBS fundraiser during a Peter, Paul and Mary special.

I know Coach P very well and I would be flabbergasted if he was posting here. He draws offensive plays by hand, still has a flip phone cell (doesn't even have the VM set up), can barely do email and has no idea what the WWW is. I could be wrong, but i doubt it.

He doesn't really need to. He's the guy who's fighting this battle in public. You government employees are only digging yourself a bigger hole. You're not very creative. Only an idiot would not guess that you are paid hacks. Any fed investigator would only be empowered further by reading this crap, which is trying to deflect the harassment case and FCPS dereliction.

Just like this entire thread. Never was a Sexual Assault. Have to have physical contact to have a Sex Assault. That's the law.

Actually, it's not the law. Physical contact is not necessary for something to be considered sexual assault. Same goes for all assault charges. Your confusing assault with battery.

Hey Bruin 4 Life - were you discussing the underage drinking event held at Lake Beaddock sponsored by the Fairfax county Police, the school board, and Supervisor Cook? Were you discussing the fact that it happened on the anniversary of the football player drunk driving incident? Were you discussing how that incident is why JP no longer has a job at Lake Braddock? How about the fact that the dad of one of those football players in the car is leading the girls basketball "issue". Were you discussing how all of those public entities are proud of the Lake Braddock Administration for addressing the real issue? How about the fact that Supervisor Cook has instructed the FCPD to arret parents that supply alcohol at teen drinking parties? Yeah, that's what you should be discussing because that is the outcome of these "investigations".... Lake Braddock parents are on notice and if another football player drunk driving incident occurs, the South Run Helicopter parents go to jail. That's worthy of discussion.

Coach took action on the players involved in that incident and was vetoed by Desperado Dave. So stop making stuff up that you know nothing about.

That alcohol assembly was an attempt to get good PR for LB after everything that went down over the summer.

Mr. Kevin Sills who is a licensed lawyer is the Director of Equity and Employee Relations for Fairfax County School Board. He also usually works behind close doors to settle court cases and sign agreements on behalf of the school board.
Words of Advice: Mr. Sills, Karin Rodriquez, Cindy Fitzgerald, and Dr. Ramney are all licensed or trained lawyers so don't trust them at all.

Are you implying that Republicans would have done a better job of addressing sexual harassment? Have you seen the guy they nominated for POTUS last summer?

I think the poster asked if the Democrat school board was going to act on the coverup of the abuse of teenage girls at Lake Braddock. I don't believe the President was involved with the Lake Braddock case. Am I wrong on that?

Gatehouse really needs to be cut. Brabrand, Ramey, Lockard, Sills and the entire HR have screwed this up. Poythress should have been fired. Thomas should have been fired. The parents need to be placed under control. The school board needs people who care about the kids in place. At LBSS and gatehouse.

I wonder how many of these posts are by Jim Poythress himself...
and poythress has always called students fags and retards in his class. they had to remove him from his job as a psych teacher because he was giving students the answers to exams and spent most of the class trying to impress his football players by bragging about how much weed he used to smoke. its all pretty sad actually, but im not surprised that a bunch of adults who still follow HS sports and drama think he's a good guy. when he talks to his players and students he puts on an ebonic affectation like hes jamie kennedy in malibu's most wanted. he's a turd.
In weight training class a few years ago, Poythress stood behind a girl from the basketball team and mouthed over and over, "bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch." He looked like a middle schooler with his tidy whities in a wad. Very embarrassed for him.

In addition to Jim Poythress whining on Fx Underground you have his hired hit man - Kyle V Miller, Esquire doing his dirty work. The guy has a restraining order at West Springfield, so he sends his kid to LB. Then you have Whiner of the Year Bill Park. Miller is their bitch. What's so funny is eveeyone knows they're shit heads.
Question - if Miller is so worried about girls safety at LB , why doesn't he send his own kid to her neighborhood school where she would be "safe"? Mist not be too worries if he pupil places her at LB.
Question - if Park is so concerned about girls safety, why does he frequent porn sites and post on his Twitter account?
Are you frick'n kidding me? Nothing says I respect girls and am the spokesperson for their safety like posting porn!
Hypocrites!

I know Poythress Ap scores were way above national and fcps levels. No way he gave out answers. I also no he never smoked pot in his life. Hiding behind your computer and telling lies is weak. State your name if you are SO sure. You'd be court for libel.

He was pulled from classroom teaching first.
The student athletes ran amuck on that building and you know it.
It was tough but it's been good. Very good.
Dave has the rest of that mess under control so take a minute and collect yourselves. How about admit that all is well now?

I am so tired of hearing that same lame ass excuse that the student athletes were running amuck in the building or doing something outside of school.
How is the football coach responsible for that?
What about the administrators, Principal asst Principals, Athletic Director?
Teachers? Parents? Why are they not held accountable for this?
I can tell you this, they didn't run amuck on the field, if they did, they were held accountable, I know, I played for P.
Again, say what you want about coach P, he was the only one willing to stick up for those girls and do the right thing.
To say Dave has things under control is a joke. LB has had some very bad press the last 6-8 months. How about this, you go take a minute, and understand that coach P left the program in great shape. Lets see how these coaches do when they have to actually develop players....Id say based on what they did this year....not very good. They beat the teams they should have with losing records, but were blown out or not even competitive by the top teams

FCPS welcomes the investigation
()
Date: January 06, 2018 08:14PM
Fairfax County Public Schools Statement
"FCPS takes seriously any and all allegations of sexual harassment, bullying or other allegations of inappropriate behavior reported by staff or students. Nearly 20 individuals were interviewed as part of the FCPS investigative process into the allegations raised at Lake Braddock Secondary School. The Lake Braddock coach was removed from FCPS nearly two years ago (early 2016), and has not been employed by FCPS in any capacity since then. We cannot provide further details due to legal confidentiality of personnel and student matters.
Mr. Giannelli was not a licensed-teacher; he was employed as a part-time coach only and resigned his coaching position at Lake Braddock in early 2016 and is no longer employed by FCPS. Mr. Clark retired from FCPS at the end of 2016.
FCPS' primary responsibility is the safety and well-being of all FCPS students. By law, FCPS cannot comment on specific personnel cases (unless the individual employees agree to publicly disclose information contained in their personnel files).
FCPS vigorously pursues and investigates any and all allegations of sexual harassment or other allegations of inappropriate behavior reported by staff or students. If any negligence in reporting such incidents is discovered, appropriate disciplinary actions are undertaken. If any disciplinary steps are taken against employees, the action taken is confidential under Virginia law (unless the individual employees agree to publicly disclose that information).
For those reporting any allegations, FCPS does have a “whistle blower” policy that protects employees from retribution for reporting alleged wrongdoing. There is no evidence of any retaliatory measures taken against any of the employees involved in the Lake Braddock Secondary School investigation.
The Department of Education stressed that the opening of the investigation is not an implication of any wrongdoing by FCPS and FCPS welcomes the review."

I do know the facts! The LB community cares about students. This is now ridiculous! I know the facts more than many fussing on here. What do you know as fact? Nothing but what you see on TV and read in the WAPO? That’s what I thought.

You don't know any more facts then anyone else on here so STFU!!
Its ridiculous that the principal has not been removed or reassigned.
The DSA informed him on the day it happened, he took no action. He should be held accountable and not use the DSA and the mole aka...football coach as fall guys.
So many are so quick to judge 16-17 yo girls in what they should have done, they were only trying to do what they thought was right. Why should they have to follow up with the principal, they had already told 2 adults.

Fed up with you and this two year old story, Bill. Just be glad your son skated through.
No need for Dave to give this another thought. He did his job. Now get back to your law firm and quit being a bully and big baby.

Fed up with you and this two year old story, Bill. Just be glad your son skated through.
No need for Dave to give this another thought. He did his job. Now get back to your law firm and quit being a bully and big baby.

^^^^^^^^^ agreed - 'bully and big baby' is quite the appropriate term for his antics.

Looks like a late rally by Dave and family to save a sinking ship!

Nobody cares about this crap. School politics is worse than real politics.
Can't we talk about open carry in this thread? What's everybody packing?

FCPS admin has a history of protecting incompetent principals and when it becomes too unseemly they are reassinged to Gatehouse. I don't remember his name but there was a principal at Stuart many years ago that had the faculty and community up in arms. He went to personnel to shuffle papers, then resurfaced at another school, where he failed again and went back to central admin. Paul Wardinski failed as the principal at McLean and then failed at West Springfield, and you guessed it reassigned to Gatehouse. Most of the staff at Gatehouse are failed school based administrators. I don't know Dave Thomas or know anything about this mess, but rest assured he will end up as the Director of Bus Safety or Supervisor of Turf Fields or some other innocuous position that does nothing productive. I'd guess that 50% of the central office personnel could be eliminated and there would be no noticeable difference in schools or quality of education in FCPS.

-Exactly. Even dangerous principles; ie, Yost ruined lives for years at Woodson.

You'rethinking of Bart Kramer, who went from Stuart to principal at Falls Church for the blink of an eye, or are you thinking of Prosperanta Calhoun? She was principal at Stuart a few years ago, and now occupies a lovely window seat at Gatehouse.
