Teachers I think do take it seriously but if admin is putting pressure on us or our job security....well we dont make enough and we have had our spirits broken so much that we are very impressionable when admin wants things done a certain way...even if the hand book and law say otherwise

Schools aren't - and won't ever be - fortresses.

School children DESERVE safety.
Get over yourself.

Stop voting for D school board, but you already know that.

Racism is a cheap cop out for these systemic problems. For one wealth inequality and poverty are precursors to at risk gang youth and further lack of studying, self discipline, and ignorantinds and bad behavior. Secondly, if there is a conflict of interest such as administration who is oriented toward optics rather than safety reporting you will have an unsafe environment as the trade off. If you fire teachers who are trying their best for low pay bc their needs to be fall guys for the systemic problems this dynamic further drives people away from the profession and further degrades education as a whole in America.

I don't know, spend more money on (((DEI))) because bringing in more brownoids stops violent incidents from happening or something

Parents, students and community members are still asking.

See the presentation(s) that the Chief of Security provided to the BOE. Beyond that reach out to your school admin. Publishing all the security info online would be counter to having security.

How cute if you think admin are going to have and share a coherent security strategy or plan for their school.

If admin give all the teachers borderline negative reviews then it should be no problem blaming them for all of the problems. If mcps get rid of all the teachers with loose lips about reporting crime and admin continues to promote cover ups then this will drive down rates of crime that get reported. Problem solved. No more crime (reported). Teachers have never been respected or trusted so everyone wins.
