From Dr. Smith's January 24, 2018 update to the Board of Education: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/c...pdate-Implement-Policy-JHC.PDF

These guys are also in after school sports outside of the system, camps, daycares, drama clubs, churches, Scouts. It is not a school problem per se. [/quote]

It is not just a MCPS school problem.  However, when my college child was in preschool, the Catholic School System overhauled their Code of Conduct.  To volunteer, I had to go through their Virtus training program.  Later on, when I began to be a substitute in the school, I signed a contract stating that any violation of their Code of Conduct was cause for immediate dismissal.  The MCPS Code of Conduct mirrors the Catholic School Code of Conduct I signed 15 years ago.

Why doesn't MCPS enforce the Code of Conduct so children are protected BEFORE they are molested?  Any police officer will tell you, child predators groom their victims and look for the opportunity.  The MCPS Code of Conduct is designed to identify these grooming behaviors.  If these things are ignored by a school administrator or Central Office and dismissal is banned by the unions then MCPS is willfully keeping children in harms way.  MCPS is also attracting the pedophiles because they know they can get away most of the time before they are caught.

MCPS needs to do more than wait for a child to be molested and arrested by the police.  A child was harmed.  That is not acceptable.  MCPS has the ability to be vigilant and enforce their own Code of Conduct to get these creeps out of our schools before they harm a child.

MARCH on the Carver Center on March 22nd at 2:30pm.  We now have 14 schools affected by 1 pedophile.  How many more are they hiding with their own internal investigations?  How many more staff remains in place till a child is hurt?  Demand more from Dr. Smith and the Board of Education.[/quote]
