Wow.  You definitely do not sound like a parent.  I think any normal parent would have concerns regarding this type of conduct by a school employee.  I can't believe how nonchalant you let a coach drive your daughter home.  You should really check in with your daughter if that actually happened.  That would be a major violation particularly if it happened after the other cases were reported to MCPS.

The implied assumption when a coach is driving a team to a meet that multiple children will be in the car.  The travel permission form does not have a box to check - I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR MY CHILD TO BE ALONE IN A CAR WITH AN MCPS EMPLOYEE.  It definitely does not give a coach permission to take a child off school grounds for an activity like lunch or a trip home.  It is MCPS protocol that an MCPS employee should have another adult in the car when transporting children.  Parents would gladly pay a transportation fee for expenses for a bus so their children do not have to be alone in a coach's car.

PP here.    My teenager was NOT alone with the coach in the car.    The coach was doing me a favor because I was going to be late to pick up my teenager at the meet due to an emergency.      I knew what time they left and I was able to track my teenager on her phone for  the 20 minute ride back to the school.     As I said I am [b]much[/b] more concerned that anyone driving my teenager be a safe driver and so I normally try to do all the driving myself.

I don't know whether you have a grudge against the coaches or are just a nutcase.     One can debate whether coaches should ever drive the athletes but note (1) [b]you[/b] can tell your teenager who they can ride with, and (2) nothing discussed in this thread has anything to do with child abuse.

As a side note, track meets often last many hours and the athletes usually do not have to stay for the whole meet.
