[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS staff person. This is inconsistent with how MCPS handles other issues. Consider sexting, as an example,
or cyberbullying. We get involved and tell students we have the right to get involved, if it can have in-school repercussions. I would consider this to fall under that category. [/quote]

To clarify I’m saying they’re both off campus not that the offenses are the same.[/quote]
I see.. so when two students have a fight in another city, on a weekend, then MCPS should let all the parents know that this happened?

cyberbullying and sexting is an on campus issue because those smartphones make it on campus.[/quote]

depends on the principal to be honest

I've been around for almost 25 years. The days of the community schools and autonomous principals are long gone for the most part.  Bureaucracy rules the schools now.

However, that doesn't mean that a principal shouldn't share this news with the school community and take on a more proactive approach b/c what goes on outside of the campus continues inside the school and more often than not,is connected to gang activity.

I have worked under the best principals in this county who valued safety, honesty and autonomy. One would drive around with security before school, scooping up truant kids.  Another never held anything back from the news regarding dangerous incidents.

Weak principals - yes men and women - will continue to destroy the system b/c to them, it's about climbing and PR.[/quote]
