[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was asking how our district was handling this after seeing on the national news. That was the first I had heard of it! Did MCPS send out a message and I just missed it?[/quote] When an incident becomes a police issue, MCPS isn’t allowed to communicate about it unless directed/approved by police. People have complained about this before and the process has been discussed at BOE meetings. Any messages sent by a principal to the school community have to go through central office approval, and that takes time. There are some standard types of messaging that can be sent (counselors are available if students need to discuss), but principals get criticized for not providing details. It’s a no-win situation for MCPS. Once an incident has made the news, I don’t see why MCPS has to repeat information publicly available. [/quote]
