If he was expelled from one pubic high school, then why was he at another public high school? What was the offense he was expelled for at Clarksburg?

These offenders will most likely be joining other high schools in the area after being expelled from Damascus

The ENTIRE community of MCPS parents needs to insist and ensure that these offenders are NOT put in any other school. They belong in jail or juvenile hall - not anywhere near another high school.

Time for MCPS to protect the students. Long overdue.

Exactly.

Maybe not tape with a broomstick but things like a person has to sleep with a person others pick out, drug use, tattoos, cleaning locker rooms, dorms etc. Notjust athletes either all sorts of clubs, frats, organizations.

Nope.

Signed a parent of kids with a combined 8 varsity letters and many clubs etc between them.

Has anyone else heard about this?

You mean RAPED with a broom, right?

The Damascus Principal called it hazing instead of rape.

He should be demoted to janitor.

Agree. This kind of misreporting is egregious. RAPE is RAPE.

These poor children. This is so shocking and sad. I am so heartbroken that this kind of thing can happen.

The coaches for my kids, including football, make it clear to both the students and the parents, that hazing will not be tolerated on any level. This is done in August concurrent with the pre-season workouts. Leadership starts at the top.

Not that poster. But I do know of one situation where a Wootton student was expelled for drugs and he transferred to Clarksburg. So they are school hopping for some reason.

sheinbein was expelled from wootton and sent to Kennedy,

20 years, all suspended except 18 f'ing months... time served. That means he did not go to jail.

MOCO parents keep letting this shit happen.
Organize and FIGHT this crap.
Make it your #1 concern.
Nothing else is more important.

I agree. I think there are just SO many issues with MCPS (curriculum issues, overcrowding, sex abuse) that it’s tough for parents to know how to implement change. Such a dysfunctional system.

I think the PP is confused because they were black, so the PP makes no sense.

For parents that have concerns and want to have a voice, please contact the MCCPTA Health & Safety committee: http://www.mccpta.org/mental-health-and-wellness.html

There is nothing in that article about how much time he had served pre-trial and it is very uncommon for someone to serve 18 mos before pleading guilty. He absolutely did go to jail - for 18 mos if not more (it is actually fairly common for defendants to waive credit for time served in exchange for the 18 mos sentence which keeps them in the Montgomery County jail)

Wow. I did not know this was occurring. I thought when a student is expelled, he/she is expelled from all MCPS schools. There are alternative programs or home services to educate a child in those cases. These programs might be more expensive than the traditional school setting. How is passing the trash from one school to another protecting students from violence?
