I wish. I've had kids suspended whose parents don't show up for the in-take meeting.  Parents either send the kid in on the bus or drive up to a neighboring corner and drop them off.  I then have the kid sit in the office for hours while trying to get the parent to answer the phone.  It's reached points where I've had to have grandparents called so that SOMEONE comes in and meets with us and the student.  Sends a terrible message to everyone involved.  [/quote]

And this is where Admins fail by not doing what they are legally required to do. Dropping off your child like that (the child has been suspended from school and so the parent is legally responsible for them that day) can be argued to fall under the definition of child abuse. At that point, what MCPS should be doing is what they are legally required to do; namely call Child Protective Services and reporting the parent.[/quote]
