The purpose of the FCPS Accountability Project has never been revenge, harassment, or division. It is accountability, transparency, and improvement.

I have been outspoken because I believe public institutions should be able to withstand scrutiny, answer difficult questions, correct mistakes, and learn from the people they serve. Criticism of government actions, policies, decisions, and leadership is not the same thing as hatred toward the people who live and work in this community.

I do not want Franklin to fail. I want Franklin to succeed.

I hope we can eventually set aside personal disagreements, political divisions, defensiveness, and old conflicts long enough to recognize that we ultimately share many of the same interests: safe schools, competent leadership, responsible use of public resources, respect for civil rights, opportunities for our children, and a community people are proud to call home.

Accountability should not require choosing sides. If something is wrong, we should be able to identify it. If someone gets something wrong, including me, we should be willing to correct the record. If something is working, we should acknowledge that too.

This page will continue to discuss matters of legitimate public concern, including government decisions, education, disability rights, public records, policies, spending, and institutional accountability. My goal is to rely on documentation, public records, firsthand evidence, and clearly identified opinion rather than rumors or personal attacks.

I also do not support threats, harassment, intimidation, discrimination, or retaliation against ANYONE discussed here.

Franklin has had enough division. I genuinely hope the next chapter is not about who “won” the fight, but whether the community learned enough from it to build something better.

Not better for one faction. Not better for one family. Not better for one political group.

Better for all.

Thank you. ❤️

Does FCPS have a quarter million dollars to defend themselves for a due process hearing? I don’t think so.

A 66 year old substitute teacher from Waynesboro Public Schools who taught at Berkeley Glenn Elementary School was arrested and CHARGED for putting HAND SANITIZER in the child’s mouth. The police report states that Douglas R. Woodside is alleged to have grabbed the student and forced hand sanitizer into his mouth. Woodside faces one charge of felony abuse and neglect of children and one charge of misdemeanor assault and battery, according to WPD. He was released on a $3,500 unsecured bond pending court.

This isn’t just about one teacher. It’s about whether our schools have enough safeguards to prevent something like this from happening in the first place.

Every time a case like this makes the news, we ask, “How could this happen?” We should also be asking, “What systems failed?” Better hiring practices, regular training, stronger supervision, clear reporting channels, and independent investigations don’t punish good educators, they protect them while protecting children.

Children shouldn’t have to rely on luck to end up in a safe classroom. Safety should be built INTO the system.

I hope Franklin City Public Schools new board members adopts new policies to protect children from abuse. Whether it be bullying from peers or abuse from teachers.

Children deserve to feel safe.

Virginia Department of Education - VDOE found
Franklin City Public Schools out of compliance in regards to restraint practices in the PRESCHOOL aged classroom and was found out of compliance for a denial of (Free Appropriate Public Education) It is an educational right mandated by federal law in the United States that guarantees all children with disabilities the right to an education and necessary support services tailored to their individual needs, at no cost to the parents.

Hopefully this new board will adopt new policies banning restraint and seclusion.

I know the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint sent the board lots of information on restraint and seclusion several months ago. Has the board adopted new policies yet? Because it is ORDERED by VDOE now. paid for by your because failed to comply with
