Don't worry, that's already obvious to most everyone.

2 students got in an argument. One pulled out a knife and tried to stab the other student. That student then walked away with the knife, hence the shelter in place. Student was not actually stabbed luckily. He was protected by his backpack.

Agreed. The PP doesn’t care what happens as long as her kids are safe at their Potomac schools.


OP here, not a woman and also not a Potomac parent. My kids go to DCC schools.


That's funny. Often when I post, I've been accused of being a Takoma Park parent, which I'm not. The local stereotypes are hilarious


Incredibly. The assumption is that anyone who demands accountability, transparency, communication and consequences from MCPS is a white Potomac mom. As a POC, DCC dad, it goes against DCUM's script that I'd value and want those things for my kids.

OP here, got it. Ok, I assumed shelter in place automatically meant some kind of elevated threat other than a fistfight.

Because as an MCPS parent, I generally care about the wellbeing of our community and all of our kids? Are you ok? What's wrong with you?

+1. If there was a weapon, they would have gone into lockdown, not shelter in place.

Sorry meant to write "assuming some kind of weapon" not "assaulting some kind of weapon" in my original post.

Any parents with kids at the school have more details?

For a shelter in place to be called and for the suspect to be in custody, I'm assaulting some kind of weapon must have been involved?
