[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the other Wootton parents who are claiming things were going swimmingly before see the latest email from Dr Bostic? It should be an eye opener that there’s already something to report. Thankfully it’s not racism or related but it’s typical of other student issue that have been ongoing. It’s really night and day with the transparency. We are going to see change for the better. [/quote]

Dear Wootton High School Staff, Students, and Families,

I apologize that this is my first formal communication to you, but in the spirit of transparency, I wanted to make you aware of a serious incident that occurred at Wootton yesterday afternoon.

I want to start off by thanking our security team for their support in addressing the situation. After lunch, two students engaged in a physical altercation, which resulted in one of the students sustaining an injury. Our investigation tells us that the fight was related to an ongoing issue between the two students. The altercation was witnessed by a group of students, who chose not to report it. Our security staff, as a part of their regular routines, recognized that an altercation was occurring and intervened immediately. Both students were given consequences in alignment with the MCPS Student Code of Conduct for their actions, and we will also be following up and assessing consequences for the students who encouraged the altercation. Fighting and encouraging others to engage in a fight are unacceptable at Wootton and in any MCPS school. This type of behavior will not be tolerated.

I will close by reminding everyone that they can anonymously report any school or student safety concerns, including mental health concerns, through the Maryland Center for School Safety's Safe Schools Tipline (1-833-MD-B-SAFE / 1-833-632-7233).
