Prince William schools shield superintendent’s Twitter messages to students

Prince William Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Steven Walts.

Prince William County Schools won’t show the Tweets that have now become the center of a legal investigation into the school division’s superintendent.

A law firm is now reviewing Tweets from Dr. Steven L. Walts, the 15-year chief of the county’s school division, after county resident Guy Morgan, of Gainesville, alleged the superintendent was using his social media account to exchange private, inappropriate comminution with students via Twitter’s direct message feature. Direct messages do not appear in the public timeline of a Twitter user.

Prince William Chair: “This moment… must be our own catalyst for change”

By Uriah Kiser

Prince William Board of Supervisors Chair At-large Ann Wheeler sent this statement to constituents today:

Last week we were all witness to the horrific death of George Floyd. A senseless, brutal act against humanity. Once seen, it cannot be unseen. Like so many in our country and from around the globe, I am sickened. When will enough be enough? I support all who are engaging in peaceful, lawful protests in response to this crime as well as the countless incidents of injustice before it. I have stood with you in body and spirit and will continue to do so.
