[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is a sixth grader at CJ and hasn’t heard anything. Anyone know what the threat said?  [/quote]

No, I'm OP and my kid is in 7th grade.  He's very active online and hasn't heard of anything.

I find it very concerning that police were involved.  That sounds like it's much more than regular middle school stupidity. [/quote]

Eh.  MCPS has a history of involving the police for anything that is even remotely racially offensive.  (While at the same time, not involving the police when kids are reporting sexual abuse - as in the Damascus rape case).

I wouldn’t read too much into the fact that police were called.  [/quote]

Could you back up your statement that MCPS has a history of involving police for anything that is even remotely racially offensive? [/quote]

I think police involvement has to do with the threat. Not necessarily the racism. [/quote]
This. It's the threat. They discussed the process for handling threats at one of the BOE meetings last year. The reason police are promptly involved is that they can get electronic records from internet service providers and social media platforms to track down the student and home (ip) the threat was made from. They visit the home, notify parents, and determine if there are any actual weapons or means for the student to carry out the threat. Further actions/consequences for the student depend on if it was a prank, mental health concern, or actual behavioral concern.

I was pretty impressed with the details and how interconnected several agencies are to handle this type of problem.[/quote]
