[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you can fault the teacher for this. Seems like the information chain was flawed. [/quote]

I suspect the teacher isn't at fault here, but that would depend on what information was communicated to her. If it is true that they made it sound like there was an active shooter at the school, then absolutely it wasn't her fault. But we don't know if that is true.[/quote]

The teacher isn’t at fault. Public school teachers have protection like a Good Samaritan law. Private school teachers are the ones that would get in trouble[/quote]

This isn't a situation addressed by Good Samaritan laws.

Teachers, public and private, generally wouldn't be found personally liable if they're acting in the scope of their jobs. Public school teachers have more protection, often being covered by some form of sovereign immunity.

Though, in this particular case, a teacher could have a problem if they took the class out during a shelter-in-place, as they would be acting outside the scope of their job by disregarding school policies. Would they ultimately be found personally liable if a child was injured?  Probably not, but they're have some exposure.

Regardless, the real question here isn't a matter of legal liability. It is just understanding where the mistake was made so that we can learn from it and do better next time.[/quote]

No one is suing.
Just simply asking what can we learn from this and how can we improve? 
But if MCPS won’t even address this then I guess we’ll just pretend the response was perfect and MCPS doesn’t need to learn anything [/quote]
