It’s also pretty clear that people on the inside are trying to hide this clear and obvious fact.

How is it unsafe? Lots of bad things happen at every school. My kids feel safe there as do their friends. This was an isolated incident.

Just because bad things are not happening on the regular doesn’t mean it is “safe.” Someone with a weapon who wanted to do harm to Wheaton would have the EASIEST time gaining access or going unnoticed. So many doors that are able to be opened and not monitored regularity. Security is great there but there are only like 6… for three floors and like 20+ entry points. Not to mention hallways that also need to be monitored at the same time. I’m shocked that Maryland Dept of Education doesn’t have a ratio based on square footage or entry points.

We all understand that but this is an issue at every school and MCPS refuses to invest in more security.

Is there really some coward in the thread that is criticizing a teacher for disarming a threat with a knife before they could stab someone else? Shame on you.

Your critical reading skills are lacking.

The school business administrator illegally runs her real estate business from the office, while refusing to work with parents to establish or maintain a PTSA or Booster Club. She controls all of the money, and only allows her chosen few allies to access it. (She's been there more than 10 years and the booster club has conveniently been dissolved at least 3 times despite eager parent volunteers.

One AP is the most venomous woman in MCPS. She makes insulting nicknames for students, berates staff, students and parents and is struggling to finish her doctorate because people got tired of doing her work for her.

Another AP is on long term leave under investigation for behavior with female students.

And an intruder brought and attacked a student with a deadly weapon and got away before the admin team lied to the community about what happened.

In what way did the Wheaton admin team handle this correctly?

It is easy to cast aspersions via an anonymous forum. Unless you have evidence to share in support of your accusations, please shut up. 🤐

So I honestly don’t know about the other allegations, but as a staff member, I can say that there is an AP who is on long term leave with no expected return date due to his interactions with female students.

Rumor has it that the AP who was on leave for allegations of inappropriate behavior with female students has been switched to another MCPS school. Apparently it’s the 2nd AP to leave this year under dubious circumstances.

There was an email saying a AP was transfered. At least the principal dealt with it, but its concerning MCPS just moves them around.
