[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it also happened outside of school hours, so why would mcps report it?   OP, MCPS is not the community police 24/7.[/quote]

If there were a man trying to abduct female students adjacent to the school would you think it appropriate to notify parents? A lot of the students use that path so it would figure that they would want to inform the school community about things happening there. [/quote]
I think it depends.  Child abduction is an issue that even the police notifies the community about, no matter where it happens - close to school or not.  A student being beaten and robbed by another student is not a community PSA even by police standards.

If the assailant was a stranger to the school, then I would think the school would notify parents. But, if it's an MCPS student who goes to that school, and this happened off campus, off hours, then no, I don't think it's appropriate for the school to tell parents to watch out for that kid.  I presume that the victim called the police and the school was made aware of the offendor's actions that were committed outside of school.  Hopefully, they will keep an eye on that kid.[/quote]

Ok I'll play. A female student is raped on the path no need to let folks know that's going down? Just as, I dunno, a courtesy?[/quote]
As I stated, some things need a PSA, others don't. If the perp was a stranger, then absolutely, just like child abductions.  A beatdown and robbery that happens after hours off grounds by students is not something I would expect a school to announce as a PSA.[/quote]

I wouldn't, either. Maybe the OP can tell us which events, specifically, they want MCPS to announce, to whom, and how.[/quote]
