Irresponsible how? A meeting was called, little details were given, police are involved. It’s irresponsible to try to keep bad behavior under wraps.

Allegations involving minors and the police need to be discussed publicly? That is not how the police approach these things.

+1.

Were all parents involved in the meeting/ email or just football parents?

All parents. They were given ~2 hr lead time for the zoom.

Given that that is hundreds of people in the DC area I don’t see how this can - or should- remain a private matter.

Can someone summarize what they were told? Was it just that todays game is being forfeited with no explanation?

We’re not the police. We’re concerned community members, many of whom are paying a large amount of money to educate children at this school, or in other schools that interact with STA. Sorry but this is not a private matter that can be quietly swept under the rug.

And no one is naming minors.

I can’t believe people pay so much money for their kids to go to such a bad environment.

Unless you are in the community it is really none of your business.

It sounds like all parents were told of the matter which means you don’t need to know what was said in the meeting as you are not in the community.

Of course that is your response. But I’m sorry; I did not get the memo that it is my responsibility to protect the image of St Albans.

It is the business of every moral person, especially those of us who have kids and live in this area.

But nice try to sweep it under the rug. This is how criminals, pedophiles and others get away with their crimes. Because people like you care more about the school’s name and image than the kids who are students there.

I don’t think it is your business unless you have a student at the school. I just don’t. I think you are being nosy.

People are annoyed at the secrecy because it reeks of a double standard.
Wasn’t there some incident last year at St. Albans where Jackson Reed students behaved badly? Their behavior was inexcusable for sure and there was a plethora of parents on here eviscerating the school (Jackson Reed). All fine but when something bad happens at a private school, parents rush to cover it up and insist it is no one’s business.

Parents are not covering anything up; we don't know what happened. There's nothing to share.

Don’t you think it’s your responsibility to push the school to provide full details and accountability?

When it all comes out, many will sit quietly and just ponder “how did life get like this?” And perhaps shed a tear.

Kudos to the kids who came forward to report this. Can you imagine how difficult that would be?

What are the allegations? I don’t understand. What exactly are they saying happened?
