I was told lockdowns are a part of life and thanks for writing. The BCC PTSA has tried for years to get MCPS to address security issues for years. The appear to have given up.

I'm so happy to leave BCC in June and I think MCPS has been cruel in their acceptance of lockdowns. They focus on controlling cell phones so kids can't get video of fights and other incidents. When there is footage, it's harder for them to sweep it under the rug which is exactly what MCPS and Dr Mooney seem to do every time there is any kind of incident.

Wow, sorry to hear about your kid. What will it take for MCPs to take seriously the trauma that has been inflicted on those experiencing repeated lockdowns while students are under their care during school hours? A lawsuit? They don't even seem to care about optics anymore.

Serious question: What do you want them to do when there is a shooting around school grounds?

This isn’t a genuine question, but I’ll answer it anyway for observers who might reading and wondering. MCPS should be doing these things at minimum:

1. Follow and enforce policies that are supposed to stop and prevent kids and intruders from leaving and entering the school building

2. Actually operate and conduct emergency measures such as lockdowns with competence and fidelity

3. Communicate and collaborate effectively with community and law enforcement agencies. Share the details of incidents with communities in transparent ways when those incidents involve MCPS students

And that’s just a starting point.

Which means lockdowns of schools, right? So what are ya'll fussing and complaining about?

The cell phone/video thing is silly when MCPS and schools constantly post pictures of kids online without parents permission, especially when they signed the waiver as no.

If you think the lockdowns MCPS has done have been implemented with competence and fidelity, then you’re not qualified to engage in this conversation and should sit on the sidelines.

I think they could remind all staff that this is the predictable outcome of not dismantling white supremacy culture. A couple of disengaging PD sessions, and a visit from Moran and company to remind us that these things happen because teachers are inherently racist. Maybe a field trip to the Sandi Spring Slave Museum to remind of all of the white privilege which afflicts all of our students and staff.

I guess that would be what I want them to do.

I'm guessing you did not take your meds today.

Maybe. I’m guessing you work for Central Office.

It's no wonder no one takes, y'all DCUM lunatics, seriously.

You obviously don't, but you like the sound of your voice/posts huffing and puffing.
