[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The absolute stupidest thing was for them to no longer allow kids to go to Phillips. There are kids at Burke who run out of the building and directly into traffic. This happens daily. The police are there constantly. These kids are seriously mentally ill and need carefully used restraint and seclusion. Teachers are attacked constantly. Kids run all over the building, cursing and throwing things, but they can’t be restrained or forced to stay in a classroom if they want to leave it, because that is seclusion.

There are ED centers still, but they are not getting student referrals, because the bar is set so high to get them there. You’d think they were trying to send them to the JDC, instead of a small classroom with counseling and therapeutic supports.

It’s insane. It’s heartbreaking,

The plan now is to send a bunch of these Burke kids to residential placements, which will cost a ton, because we can’t send them to places like Phillips. Some of these little kids at Burke only attend for two hours a day, because they are so out of control. Let them go to Phillips and similar places that have helped students in the past.[/quote]

If they aren't going to restrain kids, they need basically a 2 staff to 1 kid ratio and huge facility improvements in order to implement other strategies and keep kids safe. FCPS is not staffing these schools correctly and the facilities are not being renovated. [/quote]

FCPS is not staffing SPED correctly across the county even at your basic neighborhood ES....trust me you'd be shocked at what's goin on in your childrens' school.[/quote]
