[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is MCPS doing to prevent school shootings in our kids’ schools? Heightened security? Closing most entrances? Do parents feel comfortable still sending their kids to public school?[/quote]

MCPS has no meaningful security plans and they're not seriously looking to address it either. They're hoping there's enough space between violent incidents that parents and teachers forget about it and don't demand change.[/quote]

It’s ridiculous to say this and absolutely not true.  Is there more that could be done, maybe, but to say they have no plan and have not looked into it, is a complete lie.[/quote]

I would like to know if the new schools that are being built have any gun safety measures such as curved halls, secure doors, etc?

Please, enlighten us with the robust, detailed security plan MCPS has that you're aware of.[/quote][/quote]

Let me see just off the top of my head, they have drills, contact with MCPD, dedicated school line at MCPD, buzzing into school that requires walking through the main office, locking of doors, Patrolling of schools in intervals, training of teachers.  And that’s just without real thought.  So again to say that MCPS has no security planning and does no reviews is a blatant falsehood.  Further, any security organization worth anything would not share the entire security plan with the public as that woukd defeat the purpose.  They determine parts that can be made available to specific people and the public without adverse impact.  And the greatest threat to any security plan, is the actual people within the system.[/quote]

And, yet in the past year since sros were removed violence is way up.   So, is that enough or appropriate. [/quote]

Actually, that's false. The recent board meeting said the exact opposite that incidents were down.[/quote]
Of course they said that — with zero evidence.[/quote]
