[QUOTE] He attended Clarksburg High School in the 2022-2023 school year and was later enrolled in Alternative Education Programs at Blair Ewing Center.

In a Facebook post obtained by 7News, a parent faulted MCPS for putting what she calls "dangerous kids in other schools without letting the school community know."

Poolesville High School parent Joy Zucker has a ninth grader who attends the school and explained what she's most concerned about.

"We have a broken system. We are a public school system and every kid is entitled to their education and I get that, but don't be moving your problem from your school into my school," she said.

7News asked a representative from MCPS to explain the school system's decision to move the student from the alternative school to Poolesville High School.

"MCPS determined the placement at Poolesville High School was best for this student when he left Alternative Education Programs at the Blair Ewing Center. MCPS is required to provide free access to public education to all students up [to] the age of 21," the representative stated.[/QUOTE][/quote]
