This would make all stakeholders happier.

This sounds wonderful. What will it take to make this happen? Is there any way to try to get this proposed?

You can propose anything you want during public comments at the next BOE meeting. But you should think about these questions: If these students are quickly removed, where are they being taken/sent? What if they aren't willing to leave the classroom? Whose job is it to monitor them when they get to wherever they're going? What is the threshhold for demonstrating safety such that they can eventually return?

There used to be separate schools for chronic/violent behavior problems. Those schools were terrible. That doesn't mean they need to be terrible again. They could be made superior.
There's a constant knee-jerk reaction to burning down a system that has issues instead of working to make it better

DP.

Focus on the foundation, because right now it's crumbling.

1. Hold tighter reigns on the budget. Stop spending on smartboards and other stupid stuff if any buildings still need renovation. That includes pet projects.
2. Equality, not equity. Cut out the idea that children are unequal. When children step through an MCPS door, they should be treated equally, no matter what their background or race /ethnicity.
3. Admins work for the P's. P's support their teachers. Teachers care for their students. Backwards doesn't work.
4. Remove CO / Admin / employees that lie. Nothing drags down the organization than lack of integrity.
5. Teach the basics. Meet the needs of Special Ed. Have programs available to ANY student that can and is willing to learn.
