[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you trying to create controversy when there isn't any?

There were no issues with the student while the child was at Poolesville.

The student did well at Ewing so they transitioned back to a regular school program. I have no knowledge of what happened at Clarksburg but some kids are going through a lot and obviously this child needed help at that time.

The alleged criminal activity was something that could have happened before they were placed at Poolesville and had nothing to do with the school.

This seems like a standard part of being part of being in public school and as a Poolesville parent I do not have concerns about how this was handled other than the principal revealing too much information about the student so that busybody parents like you could have ammunition to gossip about the child.

Students getting arrested in school for criminal behavior is NOT “a standard part of being in public school.” The fact that you believe that and want to normalize that is a serious problem.

The principal’s letter is actually a model for other MCPS principals on how to provide specifics, defuse gossip and rumors and stick to the facts. Other principals need to take note.[/quote]

Completely disagree. The discretion shown by the BCC principal is how these types of incidents should be handled. It is none of your business why certain students transfer and where they transferred from.[/quote]
