Because the district called in a threat against itself?? The school and district are responding.

+1 If the district somehow botched the response, that's worth talking about. But "a kid did something dumb and MCPS responded appropriately" is actually a success (assuming that is what happened).

Wonder if it was the same kid who called in the threat against Bullis last week?

The response is good. I'm just saying.. already a threat at a school on the second day of school.

If this is a stupid teen pulling this crap, they need to hold him or her accountable and make an example out of him. The fact that these "scares" get investigated and dismissed emboldens these kids, since they don't name and shame the perpetuators if they're minors.

Sadly, this isn't even the first time this has happened at Kennedy. Same thing happened in 2018, and in 2020, Jason Sallinas called in threatening to shoot up the school:
