[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol MCPS really should change the name of that email blast of its “Things to Know” email blasts. They leave out all of the [b]actual[/b] things parents, staff and kids need to know in favor of PR fluff that makes them look good.[/quote]

I really don't need to hear about lawsuits from a previous decade that happened under a diferent superintendent. [/quote]

The litigation happened under this superintendent. They could have settled the case, accepted liability, and apologized, but that would require them to be decent human beings which is obviously a bridge too far [/quote]

The incident happened in 2018 long before McKnight was super.[/quote]

She was the Director of Secondary Education at the time. The superintendent is not the only person with culpability when stuff like this happens. [/quote]

Yes, she wasn't in charge of MCPS nor directly invovled in the incident.[/quote]

The Director of Secondary Education Leadership is 100% involved in disciplining a principal, or failure to do so. [/quote]

Not really since we're talking about extracurricular sports at a local high-school but if it makes you feel better to believe these crazy things then sure.[/quote]

Football may be an “extra-curricular sport” but it is one sponsored by MCPS, played in and on MCPS grounds and directly supervised by MCPS staff who are usually paid an extra stipend for their coaching.

Principal Crouse and the other MCPS staff involved in HS football were aware of the issue. Principal Crouse was involved in the investigation of the rape after it was reported.

We have a huge “secondary education leadership” issue in this county, as, IME, many principals and other admin and teachers are extremely un-educated about sexual assault and harassment issues and their legal obligations to protect students from sexual assault and provide safe schools.  [/quote]
