Here is the petition for metal detectors:

Metal detectors will detect knives and guns with metal parts (which are most guns on the market). They will absolutely act as deterrent, and can save lives in case a shooter enters the building.

Those who argue that MCPS isn't competent enough to have metal detectors are the same ones who didn't like electricity in homes when it was made available in the early 20th century.

Uh, no. That's a stupid analogy. Those of us who argue that MCPS isn't competent enough to run weapons detectors state so because we have been in the belly of the beast and observed and experienced the gross level of incompetence that exists within the system. That you are ignorant or naive to that fact does not mean we are wrong.

Here's a fun fact: They're implementing vape detectors now and they don't have a plan on how to respond operationally or for long-term maintenance. What makes you think if they can't do that sufficiently for vape detectors that it'll be done for weapons detectors?

They needed these like a decade ago. And if they "approve" to bring detectors, when will that be? Another 10 years from now?

After Magruder, they implemented CEO 2.0 which allowed some SROs into schools where principals wanted them. So now we have differential deployment of SROs based on the whims of the principals and not related to evidence based best practices to deter violence and other victimization.

Everyone should email Superintendent Taylor to attend the meeting.

If you mean MCPS leadership, good luck. They're cowards. But the 2nd and 3rd tier flacks will probably be there in the audience.

What safety measures were implemented after the last meeting in Jan 2024 held at BCC HS? Nothing.

What will metal detectors do? Without a meaningful change in MCPS safety and security culture, personnel and processes? Absolutely nothing.

IF Taylor can't be bothered to show up, he needs to step aside from that role. "dereliction of duties". And no duties do not include making snow day videos.

So, why meet? Everyone is busy. Stop wasting everyone's time. Families were asked to complete a survey. Wasn't safety the #1 thing? Dr.Thomas Taylor, where is your leadership? No families are not looking for a we're looking into it responses. Do you know how traumatized staff and students are?

He may care IF his own kids are in MCPs

He has 5 kids. I presume they go to MCPS. If not....that's a pretty bad look.

That salary could probably afford private school tuition for all 5.

After BCC lockdowns? Nothing

MCPS's goal is to survive each news cycle. Nothing more.

More talk.
Then?

Another " safety " meeting. March 4. Not sure why they are choosing to meet at BCC HS. Given all the recent and past few years' incidents, they should move it to another venue.
