Assault isn't an MCPS matter. Sounds like they should involve the police.[/quote]

Assault on school grounds is an MCPS matter. Things get gray because a fight on the school bus is MCPS jurisdiction but the bus stop isn't necessarily.[/quote]

The twitter post above said it wasn't on school grounds. And schools aren't some magical place where different laws apply. The county still has jurisdiction. MCPS has no business dispensing justice. These are criminal matters.[/quote]

As you know, when it comes to fights, because it involves minors and juveniles, not all fights are categorized as assaults and referred to the police. MCPS has a lot of discretion with a fight on when to deal with it as just a disciplinary issue vs when to refer it to police.

Other areas, like sexual assault and rape, have less gray area, but when it comes to fights, MCPS has a lot of say in how it gets handled.[/quote]
