Thank you for reporting on Hayfield recruiting scandal
I just wanted to thank you for your story “Recruiting scandal at Hayfield widens into multiple investigations” in the Fairfax Times on June 28-30. I hope you will pass along my congratulations to Sravan Gannavarapu and Asra Nomani for an excellent piece of investigative reporting. Without your coverage I think it is unlikely that any investigation within FCPS, or anywhere else in our county government, would be taking place. Much like the previous issue withholding earned Merit Scholar notifications from students, FCPS continuously tends to sweep these issues under the table unless they are exposed externally. The fact that an individual principal was allegedly able to pull off such a blatant disregard for FCPS policies with perhaps even legal ramifications is quite disturbing. I hope you and your team will continue reporting on the outcome of these investigations.
