[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This incident happened on Tuesday. The news story broke on Friday.

Why was there no communication of a serious violent act on a MCPS school campus between Tuesday and Friday?

Was the accused student in class after Tuesday? What is being done to protect female students from this violent individual?

I also thought police officers were back into high schools after the Magruder shooting. Was that only for a week? 90 minutes to respond for a rape is terrible.

All good questions.

And why is MCPS not keeping our kids safe in school buildings?  [/quote] if 2 17yo at olds decide to rendezvous in a bathroom in the basement how could mcps have prevented that? [/quote]

If sexual assaults are occurring in the basement bathroom (2 supposedly in one week) or other violent crimes such as the Magruder shooting, there are steps all MCPS schools can take to improve school safety:

1) For Springbrook, if a particular bathroom is prone for problems because of its location in the basement, close that bathroom

2) have a staff member/security assigned to monitor bathrooms including using cameras to watch for who is entering the bathrooms

3) take off hallway doors to the bathroom (other MCPS high schools have done this for drug use in bathrooms)

4) limit bathroom use to one student at a time - students wait in hallway if bathroom is occupied

5) get violent students out of school buildings by placing them in the Virtual Academy

MCPS is supposed to be reviewing school safety. It seems that if violent crimes in school buildings are happening primarily in bathrooms then additional security for these locations is needed.

Virtual Academy is not for violent students.  They need to be placed in Noyes.[/quote]
