Dr. Mooney is really a piece of work.

In what way? This is much better communication than last year's.

DP.

went into lockdown mode out of an abundance of caution

After reviewing footage of the fight
it was determined that some of the people involved were students at Bethesda-Chevy Chase.

So, those students involved in incident had been on campus in morning then left? or they never entered school doors today?

Have you never been in a public high school with 3000 students? Dr Mooney cannot physically prevent kids from leaving the building if they really want to. Also, there was a staff-student game that morning, so kids could leave without being questioned. But maybe those kids never entered the building. That's not the kind of info that will be available in a letter to parents. MCPS is generally extremely tight-lipped about serious events affecting student safety, and the Principals are kept on a short reign when it comes to disclosure of information. No one is happy about that, but in all fairness, that's not all on this Principal's shoulders. So no, Dr Mooney is not a "piece of work".

We've had to exert a lot of pressure on Dr Mooney over the years for him to cough up information instead of hewing closer to Central Office guidelines. That's why I'm relatively satisfied with this letter. It's better than in previous years, and way better than the letters sent by some other Principals at other high schools...

Yes should have made a new thread for that one question. Maybe next time.

Not PP you responded to. Don't think the PP up thread meant for one man to physically be at entrance doors of school. Duh.
But what should be done next, as another PP mentioned metal detectors (but but this isn't PG county).

Can these students be suspended? This is never going to get better if students are allowed to disruptive the day like this.

The violent children have a similar problem: they have a school that can take them in, but due to space constraints, these children are placed back in mainstream schools after a while. Often not their home school, but another school. Sometimes violent kids attend several schools in MCPS before aging out of the system. They leave a trail of destruction, because their needs are complex and cannot be addressed (severe mental issues combined with disastrous home lives)

MCPS closed the school for students with severe behavioral issues years ago. It was called Mark Twain school, in Rockville. Back when I was in MCPS HS many decades ago, a common threat among the kids is if you did something really bad, you'd end up at Twain.

One of the reasons for closing is that the students there were disproportionately of a certain gender and race, and that was not equitable.

Hmm "not equitable" in this case also means "don't want to spend the money". I hope we can reconsider!

"While blacks make up 23 percent of the district’s student population, they make up 58 percent of the students at Mark Twain, reflective of nationwide trends labeling more black students, especially boys, with emotional and behavioral disorders."

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/1432305/montgomery-to-close-full-day-program-for-emotionally-troubled-middle-high-schoolers/

We have to stop injecting racism into everything. POVERTY TRACKS WITH CRIME. That's been well-known since civilized record keeping, began before America was even discovered.

Blacks are disproportionately represented in the low-income population, therefore blacks are disproportionately represented in the criminal population. It's not because they're black. It's because they're poor.

So irritating.

EXACTLY!!!!!

If they are suspended, do they stay home?

They have to get it "approved" first??

No idea. Latest text says the school will ensure that students receive lunch (because lockdown went into effect a little past 11, and lunch period starts at 11:30). They don't want parents coming to the school. Duh. Why would anyone show up if police haven't apprehended a suspect in the area?

How does lunch distribution work if everyone is lockdown and then shelter in place? What food(s) did they offer students (staff?) today?

Stale waffles

and apples?
