Fairfax Underground
Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
Amazing. Talking about Trump is more important than taking care of these kids who are now seeing doctors because of the Lake Braddock scumbags. I don't even know what to say.
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.
Did you mean Poythress should not have been forced out? He has ben gone for a year and LB is worse off. I agree Dave is where the buck stops. Even a victim of circumstance must be held accountable. I would kick Dave to the curb. I would like to see coach back on the sideline somewhere
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!
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.
Lies. For what? Coach passed the Praxis so he could get in the weight room.Once there the program took off. None of this had to happen. All Dave needed to do was tell him we are going in another direction. Instead he lied many times. It will all come out. Will you then come back and apologize?
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
AGAIN AT IT......I wonder how many of these posts are by Jim Poythress himself...

Clearly you don't know Poythress. I can promise you he doesn't care. It was never about LB but rather his soldiers. If he goes to a new school as coach they will be his soldiers. Change names and colors is all.
"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."

Dave Thomas is a great principal. The press is sensationalizing an old story with potentially big headlines. This is no story. It is stupid to keep talking about it anyway. No one cares either.

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.
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.
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.
