[quote=Anonymous]K-12 schools are not subject to the Clery Act, unlike universities. That requires them to report any serious crimes committed on campus. Schools of course have an incentive to sweep things under the rug, which is why the Clery Act was created. For example, in MCPS, parents and the public only found out about the alleged gang rape at Rockville HS because the police issued a report of it, not because MCPS or the principal mentioned it.. and even that took 2-3 days. As for expelling problem students, in MCPS they no longer have a school for bad kids (it was Twain, in Rockville) so now they just transfer the problem to another school. The ringleader in the Damascus HS rape case was on his third high school by that point. Now if they end up in juvenile detention (as in, locked up), then they go to school at the detention center (known as RICA) but only the most severe cases end up there.[/quote]
