[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard that expelled and other problem students can be sent to a different school. Is that true? If so, wouldn't FCPS need to provide transportation?[/quote]

It's called involuntary transfer.  I don't know about transportation.

As you might imagine, it typically knocks students off the diploma track. [/quote]

Not really concerned about their diploma. So you can threaten someone at one school and get sent to another? I wonder if they use the AAP buses for shipping off the problems.[/quote]

I didn't think you would be.  Of course, even UMC kids get caught up in this system.  Not your kid.  But maybe his friend?

Pp here: Yes, this involved an older student who befriended and showed interest in my student early in the school year. This person allegedly threatened another love interest at school and has not been seen since. Word was expulsion and rightfully so! We dodged a bullet. I don't care what happened to the expelled student. I do not want that person around. And yet I'm hearing (don't know for sure this person's situation) that expelled and problem students are transferred out. I guess they wouldn't be sitting at home but now are possibly someone else's problem.[/quote]

Yes, the person in the direct relationship should be charged in context.  However, no school has any right to take matters out of context, or wrongly accuse, for any reason. Parents need to be aware of this.

What about students who commit assault, and there is accurate record of it -  should they not have ramifications?  Or should they stay in the school as if nothing ever happened?

To me, assault is one of the most serious offenses, if not the most serious, a student can commit.  Why would a school system allow an assailant to stay in the school? Genuinely curious., as I have seen this happen. [/quote]
