A woke school superintendent earning more than $424,000 per year is now using taxpayer funds to hire a personal bodyguard, it has emerged.

Michelle Reid took over as head of the Fairfax County, Virginia school district in July 2022 and has faced a slew of controversies in her three years of leadership.

She has come under fire for allegedly covering up a football recruitment scandal, withholding National Merit awards from students, and defying Title IX protections in girls sports, Fox News reports.

But Reid is being met with skepticism again as she seeks to hire an Executive Protection Agent who will be tasked with 'ensuring the personal safety, security and operational continuity of the division superintendent'.

The role, listed on online recruitment platform BrassRing, would earn an annual wage of between $84,552 to $143,880, according to the district's pay scale.

Qualified applicants will have 'experience in threat assessment and protective intelligence' and 'demonstrate a high level of discretion and maintain strict confidentiality in all aspects of the role'.

The starting salary of a new teacher in Fairfax County, the 12th-largest school district in the country, is only $58,000 - significantly less than the proposed wage for Reid's personal security officer.

The school district says the position is standard for superintendents, though experts have disputed that claim.

'Fairfax County Public Schools has long provided a security presence for the superintendent at publicfacing events, as part of the broader safety framework implemented by the Office of Safety and Security', district spokesperson Steven Brasley told Fox.

But the president of the National School Safety and Security Services, based in Ohio, told the news outlet a 'personal bodyguard for the superintendent' is 'not a normal or customary position'.

I can't believe that the residents aren't raising all kinds of **** to prevent this. School bonds are outrageous and becoming more frequent with escalating amounts. My local ISD is working to get one on the ballot this November.

Classic bureaucrat - overestimating their importance, and wasting taxpayer money.

Good luck defeating a bond. It never happens.

If it fails the first time, they'll sweeten the pot to get more votes, aka pay off a group with some goodies. Seen it too many times.

Is that a woman? I mean, I'm a retired lawyer, not a biologist but....

Our superintendent makes $100k more than average while the teachers make $8k less than average. He just pushed through a bond for a gold-plated theater. The voters lost their minds.

How about no security and you are accountable to the locals for your choices?

Cue the 'It's a Man, Baby!' gif

If the voters of Fairfax County, Virginia approve of this women (?) then they get what they deserve.

Fairfax is run by absolute communists. They make even Alexandria look sane. Rapists, human trafficking, you name it the ISD is on the side of the woke left.

Maybe in Fairfax. But my ISD had their bond thrown back in their faces and board members tossed off the board. The bond is coming back again and it will get soundly rejected again. Not all taxpayers shut up and take it.

Fairfax is full of woke entitled leftist bureaucrat trash. They don't even care if their kids get raped in school. They're degenerates.

A concealed Carry Permit plus the cost of a Glock and she would have lots more personal protection than she actually needs.

So who's getting the kickback in hiring this security detail?

To start it's the superintendent ... next it's principals... then vice principals ... then counselors then....

It will never end. .

So they're hiring ONE bodyguard. Let's just say he works 50-60 hours per week. That's roughly 10 hours a day, 5 days a week plus perhaps pulling weekend duty IF she is scheduled for something. Outside of 7-5-ish, she's on her own.

What the hell is the point of that? Anyone who wants to take a shot at her just waits until she goes out for dinner on the weekends. OR, they know (or learn) who this guy is, take him out first, and she's a sitting duck.

Either way, this is pretentiousness at the highest level.

This is the same woman pitching "equal outcomes for every student without exception" and whose district failed to notify some students they were National Merit Scholars so as to spare the feelings of the other students.

I'm leaning towards her creating a highly paid position for a close friend or even family member.

Educate instead of indoctrinate and you don't need a bodyguard. As soon as she asked for one, the school board should have fired her for cause

Curious how her wage isn't the same as all the janitors and teachers. If it was, I would roll my eyes because she was a true believer, but nah, she just wants power and is happy to get paid way more than anyone else to keep other people down.

Does Rosie O'Donnell have a sister?

School superintendents get fired when they displease the taxpayers. They don't get assassinated. This is a grift...

1984 indoctrination pays well if you are at the top.

Like I said up above, Fairfax, VA schools are run by absolutely horrible people.

🚨 Two 17 year old teenage girls are saying that their high school teachers in Fairfax County arranged abortions for them without notifying their parents.

And taxpayers paid for this. pic.twitter.com/6PVZlIGmDE
