Dear Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School Families,
I am writing to share information regarding a serious incident involving B-CC. Earlier today, we received a report that a student allegedly had a weapon on campus and had fled the building after being seen with the alleged weapon. School staff, MCPS Safety and Security staff, and MCPD officers immediately began collaborating to identify the student, investigate the incident, and determine appropriate next steps. These next steps included determining appropriate safety measures at B-CC for the remainder of the day and coordinating with our police partners the timing of community notification so as to not impact their immediate and ongoing investigation or responsive actions. B-CC will maintain an increased security presence for the remainder of today out of an abundance of caution.
We are committed to providing a safe school environment for all our students and staff and threats against our school will not be tolerated. The possession of weapons on school grounds is illegal, dangerous, and disruptive to school operations. I encourage all parents to talk with their children about this issue and share that this kind of behavior could be criminal and subject to prosecution by law enforcement.
As a reminder, if you see or hear something, please say something. Please do not hesitate to share anything you believe may be a concern to our school community. Information related to the ANONYMOUS MD Safe Schools Tip Line can be found on the back of every student ID card.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school at 240-740-0400.
Sincerely,
Staten Money
Shelton Mooney, Ed.D.
