[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is really a problem brewing within a school they can have a community meeting without sending out incident reports.  Madison did this years ago when they were noticing more drug use at the school (this predates the opioid crisis by quite a while).  [/quote]

What does the body count need to be to trigger a meeting like the one at your school? If the grapevine at ours is correct there have been a few at our school, a couple for sure. [/quote]

Now that I think about it the forums were coordinated by a group called the Vienna-Madison Community Coalition.  It was distinct from the school.  There was tension with the school leadership because the principal at the time (not the current one) went out of his way to downplay the issues.  Part of the frustration in the community was the belief that Madison wouldn't write kids up for any type of infraction because they were so concerned about the school's image and were especially lenient if the kids were athletes.  So the parents were the ones pressing the school administrators to crack down so they'd know what was going on. [/quote]

Good for them! I think other schools like ours downplay it for a different group, but it shouldn’t matter.[/quote]
