[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like Mink but not Jawando.
I’m a parent of a black child and think we need police in the schools. I wish we didn’t but we do.

I’m more concerned about how suspended/expelled kids can just move schools though. 
There was a kid expelled from Briggs Chaney MS who just got moved to Banneker MS. Then they got suspended from Banneker and after 45 days can go back to Briggs Chaney.
I’d like mcps to
Answer how often that is happening.

They need more seats in alternative programs. That's literally the answer. Contra what DCUM would like, schools cannot actually "make parents homeschool." A child has the right to an education. Not necessarily a mainstream education, but an education. But MCPS has reduced the number of seats in programs for adjudicated youth, or kids with persistent behavioral issues. So they have no choice but to move the kids from school to school to school.

The answer is special programs, and yes there will be racial disparities but someone needs to be brave enough to advocate for the programs to reopen. [/quote]
