[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically, MCPS procedure is to have a meeting and file a report in accordance with a process.

Nothing that actually keeps kids safer. [/quote]
DCUM gonna DCUM.

Maybe they were working on keeping kids safer and never got around to having a meeting and filing a report.[/quote]
dp.. oh please.  They didn't follow procedures twice now.  [/quote]

Clarksburg + Blair + Magruder = 3 times MCPS didn’t follow the law. Clark’s burg and Blair happened before Magruder. Perhaps things could have been learned with Clarksburg and Blair to improve safety before the Magruder incident happened.

MCPS has Central Office employees who should be on top of the reporting requirements as part of their jobs.[/quote]

Let’s not forget the Damascus rape case where admin basically tried to just pretend nothing had happened.  This is a pattern in MCPS.  We see it over and over.  [/quote]

+1 Loudon County had a grand jury investigation that uncovered a whole host of problems.  Montgomery County needs to do the same.[/quote]

As soon as I heard about the LCPS Superintendent getting fired I wondered about when, not if, this will happen to McKnight. [/quote]

The BOE that just gave her the permanent job is going to turn around and fire her?[/quote]

That's what they did. Ziegler had just been hired in 2021.  He didn't keep kids safe. He's gone. [/quote]

Not gonna happen in MoCo[/quote]

MCPS has a responsibility to follow all the laws. This goes for reporting serious incidents, reporting grades, reporting attendance, and following anti-discrimination laws including Section 504 and IDEA. Students suffer when MCPS uses their positions of power to hide problems vs. fixing problems when they occur. That is what a grand jury uncovered in LCPS. Montgomery County should have a grand jury investigation for MCPS. [/quote]

And MCPS seems to take that responsibility seriously and fully complies with the laws. If you have credible evidence that they aren't (not a FOX news opinion piece) please share.[/quote]

[b]The failure to report serious incidents at Clarksburg, Blair, and Magruder shows MCPS employees do not take their responsibilities to follow the law seriously[/b]. State letters of findings and recent agreements with the US Department of Education (all searchable and are public information with FOIA requests) also show serious civil rights violations by MCPS. Even staff members have reported acts of retaliation. There’s a general theme that aligns with LCPS regarding higher levels of school administration knowingly not fixing violations even after problems are identified.

Are you all people really that dumb or your reading comprehension skills really that lacking? Of course they reported those incidents, but " [b]The school system must then hold an after-action meeting and review within 45 days of the incident and file a report with the governor within 60 days following the meeting[/b]."  This is the part they did not do in a timely matter. [quote]MCPS confirmed that report. A meeting and required review did not occur within the necessary time frame after the stabbings at Blair and Clarksburg High Schools.[/quote]
It is just meetings folks. 
My Gosh!![/quote]
