How is this MCPS’s fault? Do you not read news from all over the US?[/quote]

Let's be honest with ourselves. This is a threat against wheaton. If the entire county wasn't under one reign of error this wouldn't be my problem tonight.

Also, the fact that they didn't bring back SRO'S but had a bulletin survey about snow days is pretty much their fault. Yes.[/quote]

Can’t blame the lack of SROs on MCPS. The blame for removing SROs falls directly on the County Council.  [/quote]

SRO’s act as deterrence. They also get to know the kids and build relationships. They are important. How long did it take for police to respond to the Magruder shooting? At least 7 minutes! Not good enough.
and the uber progressive liberals who pushed for them to be removed.  It's especially troubling for certain schools that have more violence.[/quote]

SROs don't prevent this. They were supposed to be a daily presence. Not having them does not mean no police protection. The idea was that in a crisis, police could be called in and resource officers there for the period needed. When there was an issue at Blair, that's what happened. Police responded quickly, and there was a police presence. The SRO controversy is a red herring here.

My concern is the vague wording about the threat level and the police presence and any action being taken. I have a kid at Wheaton. Given the wording "low level threat" rather than "nonthreat," the recent gun violation and BB gun violation, I am keeping them home today. Several classes have zoom options due to covid, and many assignments are able to track online, so it should be at least a partial online learning day rather than just missed school.

Do they actually have people in custody for this?[/quote][/quote]
