[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think MCPS was hoping for the students to be prosecuted in the juvenile system.  MCPS loves to hide their dirty laundry behind laws that prevent details from coming out to the public.  The superintendent actually got pissy in the news conference last week when a news reporter asked a question based off knowledge gained from the "leaked" police report.  Leaked or not, the police report is normally considered a pretty credible source for information as to what happened.

Now at least the record of won't be sealed since the boys are being tried as adults.  If MCPS was smart, they would have a community meeting to give information to parents.  If nothing else, MCPS should have a community meeting with the parents who have had (past and present) children on the JV football team.  They could welcome in the police to talk if MCPS is actually afraid of disclosing something the police doesn't want out till the case is closed. [/quote]

I am not sure what type of info you hope MCPS will share.  Even with the charges being public, there are things that can't be shared based on applicable privacy laws such as FERPA.  For example, confirmation that certain suspects were expelled from other schools, and the reason for the expulsion, likely cannot be disclosed by MCPS.[/quote]
