[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound completely deranged. [/quote]

You sound completely out of touch with the current realities and the state of MCPS.

Students now ODing everywhere on hard drugs like opioids.

Ridiculous. Why am I paying taxes for this crap show? [/quote]

I don't deny what is happening but how is your solution to blame MCPS? Do I think they are partially to blame given how long we were shut down?  Absolutely but the fact that you are spinning this as a "what are they doing about this" is strange[/quote]

It seems like a concerted fearmongering effort. This stuff was happening even at my W HS 30+ years ago. I wasn't personally interested but it was still going on even back then.[/quote]

Were kids dropping dead from overdoses at your high school 30 years ago? I don't understand how people can make this argument in this day and age.

If you aren't going to part of the solution, just go away and be quiet.[/quote]

1992 graduate from an MCPS HS here and absolutely no one dropped dead at my school resulting from a drug OD. This is very concerning and MCPS can certainly do more but they don't have the appetite to do it. Why? Because it would require more security. The bottom line is, there isn't enough security at the high schools. You need security assigned to monitor bathrooms and all doors to the building. I know for a fact that at our HS, which doesn't have open lunch, kids just walk out of the building during lunch and come back high. Another thing is that if you're caught doing drugs or are under the influence, there needs to be significant consequences. Another thing that MCPS doesn't want to do.  [/quote]

Yes, this is the same conclusion I've reached as well.

The question I have is if more security resources (tech and personnel) is the issue, why doesn't MCPS ask for more resources in the budget for this in the same way they did for mental health and tutoring???[/quote]
