Yes. A town hall is needed to discuss the problem.[/quote]

Hahah are you new to MCPS? They will send people from Central Office to run it, just like they did with the redistricting meetings. Nothing will come from it.[/quote]

What’s the alternative? [b]Not answer parents questions [/b]and start the school year as usual?

MCPS time in and time out fails to put students first.  Not protecting students from a teacher/coach who was a predator and worked in MCPS for 20 years is a great concern of many parents. What did teachers at Whitman, the principal, and MCPS Central Office know and when did they know it? Were there prior complaints about Shipley? What was done to investigate and address the complaints?

To send a letter but not have a town hall meeting is bs.[/quote]

They are not obliged to answer your questions, at all. Especially if it is an ongoing investigation, which it is. They only have to answer the questions of the police, if asked.
I really don't see how parents feel they can horn into any situation they don't like and start making demands. [/quote]

Are you for real? You think a teacher/coach having sex with students is only deserving of a letter.

How about having the Montgomery County Police Department and the DC Police Department who are working the case give parents clear and concise contact information for if a parent has information for them?  How about talking about the child and abuse training offered online for parents? Many parents might not know the course exists. What about addressing specifically what MCPS does when staff is caught violating the Code of Conduct and how violations should be reported? Is there going to be an independent investigation of what breakdown occurred?

There’s a lot that could be discussed that wouldn’t interfere with a police investigation and they should be on hand to stop any information from being put forward that they don’t want released yet.[/quote]
