[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear Oakton Community,

As a follow-up to my message to you on Wednesday afternoon, I wanted to bring you up-to-date regarding the school’s response to the troubling assault that occurred on school grounds last week.

At this point all students, who we know to be involved, have been spoken with and assigned the appropriate disciplinary consequences as determined by the FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR &R).  Any student with additional information regarding this incident is encouraged to come talk to the administration.  Should any new information come to light, we will continue to investigate.  I know that there are still many questions and rumors circulating around this instance, however, student privacy laws prevent me from disclosing any specifics.  We certainly understand the anxiety among students, staff and families caused by this serious incident.

My first priority, always, is to provide the students, staff and community with a safe and secure environment.  I am in constant contact with the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) who are continuing their investigation and the school is assisting the police in whatever ways we can.   We encourage discussions at home to address the appropriate ways students can address their feelings and concerns while respecting that the school and police are handling the matter with all involved.  Counselors and administrators are available to talk with any students that have concerns or may be impacted by this incident.

In addition, we have simultaneously begun the following action steps:

Review of all safety protocols and procedures at the school level to ensure student safety in all venues.
Clarifying for students the various ways they can report a concern, of any kind, to school staff.
Adding additional anonymous means to report concerns to school leadership. 
Engaging students in conversation around bullying and appropriate responses if they are aware of, or a witness of such behavior. 
The FCPS Office of Safety and Security is a second available resource to report student or parent concerns.  I have included the link to the website below for you to have as a resource.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Jamie S. Lane, Principal[/quote]

“Appropriate disciplinary consequences” better not be a 3-day suspension or a similar bullsh$t punishment. Does anyone know if these kids are being removed from OHS and sent elsewhere? So tired of FCPS protecting the aggressors instead of victims.... [/quote]
