Wtf??! What difference does it make? Are you talking about race of kids? Principal? If it's white on white does that make it different then black on white, black on white, or black on black??? It's ludicrous that it's happening regardless of race of parties. Please explain PP. you are what I despise about DCUM.

Oh and go to the news

If you are not sending your child to school b/c of concerns that your child will get hurt, send an email to the teacher and the attendance person at school and state..... Johnny will not be at school today. As you are aware the following items have occurred and no action plan has been put in place to address these items. Further, on 3/21 I met with principal XXX and was told that there are no steps that can be taken to support the safety of my child.
This. DCPS will place him at another public, private or pay for homeschool tutor. You have to advocate for yourself, maybe get an attorney if it comes to it ( DCPS will reimburse). I am so sorry this is happening to you. Your kid is young, so keeping him out of school a little hopefully won't hurt.

OP, please name the school!!
I've been planning to enroll my son in DCPS this year, but incidents like this make me think twice.
Your poor son--I'm so sorry this is happening and I hope you can find a better place for him soon.

Email and call the ombudsman's office. Also call the Chancellor. Elevate this!
Agree x 100 -- and call 911 to report.
If you're engaged enough to post here, you have to be strong enough to step out.

We had problems with bullying at Brent -- the principal did nothing. Sorry you're going through this.

This is exactly where I am today and I regret not doing something sooner. My DH comes from a family of educators, exceptional ones, and he has done things by the book. If we do this, say this, the principal will do the right thing. "Let's wait for him to give us a plan approach." It just hasn't worked very well. I stormed into the office today and raised hell. That got some attention. Anyway- right now private school is not an option, but homeschooling is.
I'm not even going to wade into the race question.

I would call every charter school to see if there was room or rent a small apartment in another area temporarily to send my kid to any other school.
My kid was bullied constantly in Catholic school. Don't be fooled into thinking it any different there or that they do anything about it.

you need to leave the school. sorry. DCPS employees can't touch kids and can't expel them so...they have restorative justice and responsive classroom programs...but your son needs physical safety. You can provide that, DCPS can't.
