This will cost FCPS more than renaming JEB Stuart HS.

And we get to watch it all play out on Fairfax Underground.

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

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.

I agree with this statement from another site. Besides the WAPO had had to change their story some too. That bothers me. IT almost seems that they were pushed to get it out. 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.

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.

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

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.

I, for one, have no sympathy for those folks who are now sweating and having trouble sleeping, not because they feel any sense of guilt for whitewashing unforgivable behavior, but because they got caught. Karma has a way of catching up with you.

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.

Who is asking the LB faculty to make pro Dave signs?
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.

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.

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.

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!
Monica Park
Luther Jackson Middle School
3020 Gallows Rd, Falls Church, VA 22042
Thursday, July 13
Arrive at 6:30 pm,
Walk in to Auditorium at 7:00 pm.

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.

Look up Ernesto Hernandez and Nokomis. Buchanan, Ingersoll, and Rooney brought Federal charges against old Ernesto in Pittsburgh. Once a bully always a bully. Look it up yourself on Law360.

Billy P Post. Pathetic pursuit of being indulged by his his friends on the board on full display. Grow up man. You wanted Thomas to give you your way. He did the right thing by standing up to you, and you got P fired in the crossfire. Your ego suffers, so you continue to cry like a little girl.
Pathetic .

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.

Is this the War of Helicopter Parents vs. Entrenched FCPS bureaucrats? It's a chaotic situation for not interviewing a couple of coaches and basketball players.

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.

So that big meeting was last night, what happened? Probably nothing. This county won't hold anyone accountable and the people in charge will just get shuffled somewhere else.

Looks like Dave is staying at LB...



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
Fairfax County Public Schools
