Staffing Update From the Superintendent
Dear Fairfax Families and Staff,
With a little more than one week to go before the first day of school, I am excited to share that we are making excellent progress toward continuing our tradition of supporting our students with committed, caring, and qualified educators.
Our classrooms are now close to 99% staffed and we are anticipating that we should have an instructor in every classroom who is either currently licensed, or working to attain their licensure through our innovative Teacher Residency program. The program allows teachers to start teaching this fall while finishing up requirements to become fully licensed in Virginia. It supports teachers with licensure in other states, grade levels, or content areas. You can learn more about this innovative program on our website.
I invite you to join me at one of two virtual information sessions I will be hosting this week to share additional updates specifically on staffing. Click on the links below to log-in:
Wednesday, August 17, 6:00-6:45 p.m.
Thursday, August 18, 12:00-12:45 p.m.
In the coming weeks, you will also have the chance to hear from me as I host community conversations in every pyramid. You will receive information about dates and how to register directly from your school.
We are partners in this journey. I am committed to doing all I can to support your child in their own unique path to a successful future.
Best,
Dr. Michelle C. Reid
Superintendent
Fairfax County Public Schools
