Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
This is just so interesting! Please do provide a citation backing up your claim. We'll wait. DP |
| I am taking the dad’s information with a huge grain of salt right now. If you truly thought your son’s life was in danger, I have no idea why you’d call the school liaison and then wait for a call back. The school liaison isn’t even admin, that’s who you call when you need assistance with food or clothing or medical care. I believe dad knew his son was involved in some bad stuff, maybe hoped it wouldn’t go this far, didn’t want to go to law enforcement just in case, but I do not think any of us can confidently say the school/FCPS is responsible for what happened to this child in his personal life, outside of school, outside of school hours. |
It could have been ignorance. It could have been fear of police (eg, afraid police would lead to ICE arrest$. Who knows. However, if a liaison receives a call, they need to follow through. |
DP. No person in a FCPS school building, except a SRO who is also an FCPD officer, is equipped to deal with an actual criminal. Returning a phone call would have done nothing unless you're dealing with the Police (which he may have been afraid of). I am doubtful that FCPS will release what they know about the students involved in these types of situations. |
These efforts were started after a horrible attack and later, overcrowding of homes. People were trying to do something. |
Many school employees, if not all school employees, are mandatory reporters, right? Seems like the resource officer at least should have passed the info along to the police. |
This is the exact response that this board would have if a WHITE student had been murdered by a classmate outside of school….after a parent called the school with concerns. |

seems this is what happened. where are the Democrats? none of the Democrats are helping, none and yet they continue to push for more and more immigration. and continue to wonder why they keep losing elections. |

FCPS needs to do something about the safety of our students at Herndon High School. If they have the budget to hire 4 full time bodyguards for Reid, they should be able to find funds to hire a few more SROs for our school.
The response by the Principal at Herndon making this seem like a suicide and the lack of care from Reid and the School Board shows a lot about their priorities. Unlimited funds/time/communication to study rezoning boundaries, having students take Algebra I at 10 years old, hire gatehouse staff.

Will the school board have a moment of silence for the victim at their next meeting?
It’s the least they can do. |
I am absolutely no fan of our School Board. However, this tragedy is not on the school. It is on our government leadership of law enforcement and the refusal to police these gangs. I listened carefully to the interview. I don't understand Spanish, so I rely on the reporter's account. It sounded pretty vague to me. It seems he spoke with the school liaison--what did he report? He said he asked for law enforcement to contact him. Did he actually speak with the liaison? or did he leave a message? He said he called a month before. Hopefully, there is a law enforcement investigation as well as a school one. This happened outside of school. We don't even know who the shooter was or if he was a Herndon student. |
You are so tone deaf. A Herndon High FCPS student died. Regardless of where he died, there should be a moment of silence for an FCPS student. |
Do they do this for suicides? |
I don’t know, but it seems like any student death is worth a moment of silence, right? |
