The superintendent of Schools in Alexandria, VA, was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol last Friday. The Alexandria School Board has met four times (four times!) since then to consider the superintendent's fate. In the meantime, she has apologized repeatedly for her "lapse in judgment," and asked for forgiveness.
The Alexandria School Board, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to stand behind her and retain her as Superintendent.
If I lived in Alexandria, how would I explain this to my kids?
