To the person who said "don't worry, your daughter doesn't hang out with MS-13 gang members, she'll be fine."

You are disgusting. She was a girl. A human being. Like her destroyed life does not matter because she may or may not be Hispanic and hang out with gang members. No, I do not want my child attending a school where nothing is being done to ensure her safety, whether or not she is Hispanic. I don't even want her setting foot in a building like that. I don't want her to be constantly worried about being RAPED.

There has been no identification of the victim. How dare you suggest she hangs out with gang members, you don't know that. Perhaps she sat next to one of them in class and was friendly. You don't anything about the poor girl.

You yourself mentioned that as long as my daughter was not involved with an MS-13 gang, then I had nothing to worry about. I have heard that narrative before and I think it is wrong. There should be ZERO rapes at schools - got it??

+1,000,000

Which should include criminal background checks and sexual harrassment training of incoming students.

I checked on the Board of Ed site to see when they have their next meeting. It's this Tuesday at 2:30pm:
http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/boe/meetings/

Here's the agenda:
http://www.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=AK3NQQ5BA5FE

So their main topic is to discuss changes to a statement on cultural diversity, discrimination, etc. Their changes are here (bold text = new additions):
http://www.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/AKJADW74C659/$file/aca%20draft%203.pdf

Here's an example for those who don't want to read the entire thing:

This was the old version:
"Equity also involves positive steps to identify and redress implicit biases and structural and instructional barriers"

Too weak for them, here's the new version:
"Equity also requires proactive steps to identify and redress implicit biases and structural and instructional barriers"

The document is riddled with things like this..

Nothing on school security being more important than proactively identifying implicit biases.

Meeting is at 2:30pm on Tuesday. No public comments are allowed, but people can attend. Shall we picket outside, or all wear the same color t-shirt when inside?

Yes! Get the word out on Facebook too. Bring signs.

We need to stop giving them money, housing, food stamps and every other freebie that is drawing them into this country. I don't care anymore, I have lost all patience with this situation. They can stay in their own countries and make it better instead of coming here and ruining our communities. Got it?

Most illegal immigrants do not jump the border. They arrive legally (student or tourist visa), then overstay. How do we stop those?

No visas, student or otherwise, until we get this under control.

No visas = the US economy grinds to a halt.

Now, do you have a practical solution instead?

Mine is to conduct a full security review of every MCPS school, and increase staffing/spending on that area. I have no idea how to fix it (more cameras? more security in the halls?) but it's something we can reasonably accomplish in a very short period of time.

I saw your thoughtful posts earlier. Please email BoE (send directly to each member; otherwise they don't read them) and email your Councilmember. Get your neighbors, neighborhood association and PTA to do the same.

I saw in an earlier post that there was a separate center for high school children who are both new to the country and cannot speak English well. It sounds like BOE members voted to close it/them down. Perhaps we need to ask MCPS to reopen them so we don't have 20 year olds in classes with 14 year olds.

This is very irresponsible on the part of MCPS. Is there any indication that this horrific crime has led to a reexamination of current policy?

I think all parents should have to provide a SSN to register a child for school. This is insanity. Our schools are overcrowded and buckling under the added stress of illegal immigration on top of trying to serve legal residents and citizens. I am going to email my council representative for sure.

There are multiple sexual assaults and drug arrests at MCPS. Why is everyone ignoring those?

The schools have statistics regarding the suspensions and police involvement in schools.

We are discussing one deplorable incident, which involves dumb policy by MCPS where it could be foreseen that a problem would arise. It did not have to happen and is a glaring example of the counties defend illegals above all reason. Why do you feel the need to deflect the conversation. Of course there are other rapes and even murder, so that means we should just say "oh well."

"MCPS School Safety and Security at a Glance" check out your childs school. Some how I think these number are incorrect?

More money, why am I not surprised that you would suggest that? Let's give them more money so the schools can continue to decline and a generation of children are thrown under the bus while we try to save the world. No thanks, no more money, there is a simple solution, you don't speak English and are illegal, get out of the school.

I've been saying the system is going downhill for a long time, but people live in bubbles.

I am very involved with our schools and follow the budget closely (neighboring county, same growing problem). The cost to educate each child on average is $13,000 per year. The superintendent in our system said that ESL students are higher. He also said our school population is growing the most rapidly in this segment. Plus, each year we are building schools, which kill a lot of trees and cost millions of dollars to build, staff, and maintain. I asked another high up official who pays for all these new schools. He told me the taxpayer. So, homeowners are being handed the bill for these kids, many of whom are coming in without their parents. What? No parents? Yes, they are dropping them off at the border. Did you know we have a growing human trafficking problem? This includes the sexual exploitation of minors? What on God's green earth are we doing allowing foreigners to drop off their kids at the border to be "supervised" by God knows who?? I read on a local website about human trafficking that these trafficked kids - right here in our area - are taken to school during the day so that no one questions and then back to their slavery situation at night. People need to wake up!
