[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they let one parent pick up their kid early, then they would need to devote staff to allowing all the parents there to also get their kids early.

It was for the good of the entire school that admins were able to focus on keeping everyone contained, safe and allow police to do what they needed to do.

When they did allow parents to start getting their kids early it was a time consuming process - forms had to be filled out and each kid needed an escort from their classroom.

Most of the parents were patient and understanding. I don’t get a parent who thinks their demand to have their kid released NOW takes precedence over everything else going on. There were multiple updates from the school stating everyone is safe and needs to sit tight. SMH[/quote]

The parents at press conferences were asking for FCPS to be clear on what was happening. Parents were not asking for special treatment. In Stay Put Sit Tight as stated on FCPS website, a parent with ID CAN pick up student. Perhaps this incident will prompt FCPS to change its written protocols if it did not intend to allow parents to pick up during Stay Put Sit Tight. The issue was FCPS has a written protocol that they didn’t follow and called situation one thing (and did sound better for press), but acted to different protocols.
