[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they typically do a lockdown instead of shelter for call in threats? Or is this a bigger response than usual? Any existing threats that may have caused that?[/quote]

It's a bigger response than usual, because Principal Mooney and Central Office got reamed this week for Monday's incident involving a student with a gun inside the BCC building. There have been multiple bomb threats at various MCPS high schools in recent years, and usually those are deemed non credible before it gets to a lockdown. I actually cannot recall a lockdown situation for a bomb threat in recent years in MCPS - correct me if I'm wrong. Since this threat was called in from a certain distance, just like the others were, I really don't see why BCC went into lockdown.

For those who are defending Mooney, come off it. He's just as responsible as Central Office. Other MCPS Principals managed to not get their schools locked down for non-credible bomb threats. Clearly he's incompetent, cowardly, and relies on Central to tell him what to do. Then he can claim "his hands are tied, because Central dictates his every move" to irate parents. Yeah, right.

After so many incidents with safety in the past couple of years, this Principal has got to go. He just doesn't have the community's trust anymore. No one expects him to do the right thing now, so he's not going to get the benefit of the doubt ever again.
