Tuesday forum in McLean was second in series of community meetings this week about replacing retiring Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Jack Dale.
Parents at a community meeting Tuesday designed to gather input about Fairfax County's next superintendent say the new leader will step into an excellent school system, but also one with dwindling resources and an achievement gap it is struggling to close — challenges they said would be best navigated by someone who could maximize a limited budget and respect and listen to the community. The Tuesday meeting at Langley High School in McLean was one of several this week facilitated by the search firm Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates, the company hired to lead the search for a new Fairfax County Public Schools superintendent as Superintendent Jack Dale's retirement approaches in June. The firm also led the search for Montgomery County Public…

Program would exempt schools through the 2014-2015 year
Eight Vienna schools are among the 101 high-performing schools across the state that could earn waivers from Virginia's annual accreditation process, allowing educators to focus less on the test and more on innovating in the classroom, local and state officials said this week. Virginia Superintendent of Public Instruction Patricia I. Wright said eligible schools have achieved pass rates of 95 percent or higher in four Standards of Learning (SOL) content areas — English, math, science and history — for the past two years. The three-year waivers would allow the schools to stay fully accredited through the 2014-2015. The high marks have earned schools "an opportunity to set aside concerns about annual accreditation for three years and lead …

Members aim to hire consultant by October
The Fairfax County School Board took its first step toward hiring a new superintendent this week, moving forward with a formal solicitation for a search consultant. Superintendent Jack Dale, who was hired in 2004, announced last fall his plans to retire in June 2013. To hire a superintendent by the end of April, the preference of some board members who spoke at a Monday work session, would be "aggressive" while following a formal process, said Tony Cross, director of procurement services. The board would have to hire a consultant no later than October, Cross said. In an informal solicitation process, the board would accept bids from at least four vendors, Cross said, a smaller pool that would allow it to focus on the small group of …

In meeting with Fairfax school board, Maryland officials stress discretion, unity in search for schools chief
On most days, Fairfax and Montgomery County Public Schools are competitors on nearly all fronts, both within the greater Washington area and among the large, elite schools systems across the country. But as Fairfax approaches its first superintendent search in nearly a decade, its Maryland counterpart across the river has also become arguably one of its best resources. On Monday, Montgomery County Board of Education members offered school board members insight into MCPS' recent search for a new schools leader, an eight-month process that concluded last April when it hired Joshua Starr. Fairfax County Superintendent Jack Dale announced last fall he would step down from his post as schools chief when his contract expires in June 2013, …

Proposal by Fairfax Superintendent Dale, others won't be discussed this year.
A proposal by Fairfax County Public School Superintendent Jack Dale and others to move standardized testing to earlier in the school year has been turned down by state education officials. In an Aug. 1 letter to the superintendents, the Virginia Board of Education president, Eleanor B. Saslaw, said there would be no such vote. The superintendents’ plan was too vague and failed to address concerns about unintended consequences for students and teachers. The superintendents argued in a joint statement to the board last spring and again in July that testing earlier in the school year would liberate students and teachers from the “test-driven approach to education that stifles learning” and give them more time to delve into lessons that …
