[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened in the middle of the day.  The students were supposed to be in school and were not (they went to school and then left the building).

[b]How can 30, 40, 50, more students leave a building and you as a school do nothing about it?  [/b]

Who will get fired and how quickly will it happen?[/quote]
A lot of 9th graders have to leave the buildings as they have classes at ACHS and MH and walk back and forth. I also thought they were allowed to leave campus for lunch? That actually seems like a stupid privilege to me and should not be allowed [/quote]

There is no open campus lunch. Kids travel between MH and the main campus for classes. Also, that was an SOL testing day, and there is utter chaos and confusion about when kids are allowed to leave after they're done. Testing was a hot mess last year and again this year.[/quote]

Many DC area public high schools still have open campus for lunch, a practice that began some 50 years ago, back in the 1970s. Arlington, Montgomery, DC, etc., all have open campus policies. Some schools limit it to upperclassmen, but for others, anyone can leave campus for lunch or during free periods. Generally there are no problems, and the schools prefer that some students leave the campus at lunch.
