[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reality is that predators are everywhere and parents need to closely monitor their children to keep them safe from adults who will take advantage of them.  [/quote]

This is the MCPS Employee Code of Conduct:

https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/staff/Employee_Code_of_Conduct/0503.21_EmployeeCodeofConduct_BOOKLET_ENG_Web.pdf

All staff - including security guards, teachers, and coaches - are repeatedly trained on what is acceptable behavior and what is not. Many things in the Code of Conduct are not criminal offenses but were written for child safety. For example - do not be alone in a classroom with a student with the door closed and do not communicate with students via non-MCPS email. If followed, these rules protect staff from accusations. If a staff member violates the Code of Conduct, parents and MCPS should be concerned as to why.

Predators in MCPS violate the Code of Conduct before sexual abuse occurs. Even when caught, they receive warnings to the point there’s no deterrent for child predators in MCPS. The vast majority of MCPS predators who have been arrested worked as coaches. The after school access to students means less scrutiny. Teams like Cross Country and Track even travel overnight for meets so there’s even more of a danger with less adults including no school administrators to supervise what transpires. MCPS really needs to clean house in its athletics program and tighten up protocols so all employees are held accountable.[/quote]
