[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP. Just to clarify, last year’s lockdown was scary but justified. My point is that students shouldn’t go through that unless there is a threat. [/quote]

How are you so sure there wasn't a threat? Even now, we don't know for sure but we definitely didn't know that in the moment yesterday.
The letter made it seem like there was a lot unknown. What if there was another student with a gun? Yes that could be true any day but yesterday it seemed more likely there was another student at the school who could have been armed. Usually these guns come to school because of a conflict between two or more people.

I'm mad the kids weren't told what was going on. They could have helped keep an eye out.

Mooney is stuck. I'm not sure what his job is. It appears MCPS insists on handling all the communication and letting Mooney take the fall if it doesn't go well.

[b]MCPS communication is horrific. Anyone who thinks they are going to get you urgent info is kidding themselves.[/b][u]

Yes they will not give info to stakeholders but they will to media as that communications office did Monday.

No lockdown this time. However, there was a plan years ago to evaluate communications during a prolonged lockdown. Where can families find the evaluation? In that bogus weekly things-to-know newsletter????

Why wasn't there a lockdown in this incident? Because student with firearm left building? Because MCPS didn't want the world to know the same school in a "premier" school district had another emergency? Students can leave campus. Why didn't they call a shelter in-place so that no one inside leaves building? Makes people think incident itself is a rumor. If MCPS does not clear up, families will sue. There is already talk of it.[/quote]
