This. Student safety is not a priority, for sure. It’s all about optics in MCPS and sweeping incidents under the rug, whenever possible.


I would like to agree, but typically MCPS is not allowed to say anything involving minors or during police investigations and trials. The law protects minors and what can be said.


LOL There is plenty MCPS can say. They just don't want to talk about their lack of oversight.

Maybe they were working on keeping kids safer and never got around to having a meeting and filing a report.

dp.. oh please. They didn't follow procedures twice now.


Clarksburg + Blair + Magruder = 3 times MCPS didn’t follow the law. Clark’s burg and Blair happened before Magruder. Perhaps things could have been learned with Clarksburg and Blair to improve safety before the Magruder incident happened.

MCPS has Central Office employees who should be on top of the reporting requirements as part of their jobs.


Let’s not forget the Damascus rape case where admin basically tried to just pretend nothing had happened. This is a pattern in MCPS. We see it over and over.

Okay. That's not great but it is the kind of thing that happens a lot at big bureaucracies. They learned the new rule and now it is happening.

This is a non-story.


By the correct person do you mean MCPS Director of Security Ed Clarke, the former head of the Maryland Center for School Safety?

The new rule as you call it was a law passed in 2020. It's still not being followed in 2022.


+1 Keeping MCPS in compliance with the requirements is a core part of Mr. Clarke’s job. Given his previous position, he should have known about the reporting requirements. Perhaps hire someone to replace Mr. Clarke if he is not able to do his job.

The school system must then hold an after-action meeting and review within 45 days of the incident and file a report with the governor within 60 days following the meeting.

MCPS confirmed that report. A meeting and required review did not occur within the necessary time frame after the stabbings at Blair and Clarksburg High Schools.
