[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not understand why Casey Crouse, the principal at Gaithersburg HS at the time of the assaults, still to this day has a job with MCPS.  She clearly mishandled the management of the sexual assault reporting and did not maintain a safe environment for students.

Now MCPS has had to pay out millions in her defense.

We will never have a safe, sexual assault free school environment until school leadership responsible for safety experience real consequences.  The only consequence she experienced was being taken out of her principal position and given a job at the same guaranteed salary in Human Resources.  Still, today, she earns 160K+ a year, and she is probably on track to retire with that salary.

Christine Handy was the principal. She was immediately transferred.

I do have inside information on this case, and I'm shocked.  But I won't go into detail. It would come off as a defense of MCPS, which is not my intent. I know the kid.  [/quote]

She saved herself, quickly suspending the kids and then running away. She resigned and went to be President of National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), now the President of MoCo Association of Administrators and Principals.  The school is better off now. [/quote]
