For a district that claims children are not criminals, to justify removal of SROs, the opaqueness is malicious.[/quote]

Don’t link National Review here. Thanks. [/quote]

NP here. Why?  Because this media turned out to be right and were the first to report this incident while everyone else either sat on their hands or looked the other way. Are you Justin, who called this “fringe media” when it turned out to be accurate reporting?  SMH. [/quote]

Ok, here

Alexandria Times reported the story SIX DAYS AFTER the National Review. You (as well as me) may not be a fan of the National Review, but as far as breaking the story they did it and it took practically a week for other media to report it also. What’s important here is that a young woman was assaulted, hospitalized and the ACPS and Mayor took almost 6 months to disclose it. And we all know that they obviously were never intending to disclose it had it not been for the National Review. Hard to chew for me too, but it’s the truth. [/quote]

In early March, AlexNow reported on ACPS's school safety report, which did have very limited information about this incident. I saw the information on the school board meeting agenda then. I didn't think it was good but didn't realize families were not given any notice since I don't have kids at ACHS or Minnie Howard. I didn't realize that ACPS would claim that privacy laws prohibited them from sharing any information about/and stemming from the incident with families back in October 2021 (that the incident happened during the school day, that multiple assailants were involved, that the victim was hospitalized, that the alleged assailant was immediately placed in virtual learning and removed from in-person learning on school grounds, or anything information about the status of the other alleged assailants - basically any information that would not include identifying information was not provided to families). The principal had the discretion under the law to disclose more information (without violating privacy) but chose not to.[/quote]
