$134,000 moved from Fairfield MS

RTD columnist Michael Paul Williams looks at a recent transfer of renovation money away from Fairfield Middle School to 2 West End high schools and calls it a “blatant” cheating of East Henrico. On Thursday night, Henrico School Board members voted 3-2 to transfer $134,000 away from a renovation at the 50-year-old Fairfield Middle School to free up design money for two 12,400-square-foot field houses at Deep Run and Tucker high schools.

    Upon reading the RPS Master Plan and this article, my desire to stay as far away from the public “education” conversation and it’s so called “reform” is further enforced.

    Our issues are so deeply rooted that the problems with the schools are just a barometer for a greater ill that should likely be adressed before any meaningful change can happen in our educational system.

    For now it seems to be be about politics, “project phasing”, contracts, efficiency, testing, power, money, and business rather than about our young people and how best to prepare their minds and bodies for life.

    Thanks for keeping us updated John.

    I understand that reaction, 100%. From the inside, so much outside discussion of the schools seems really disconnected.

    I would say that the RPS School Board’s recent meetings and ideas, though, are intended to ensure that “students have the mental, physical, and ethical capabilities necessary to succeed after graduation”. Refreshing after so much squabbling.
