Questions were sent to Board by school's families. Have yet to hear BOE's answers. Do they think parents and students have forgotten because there was another incident that same week?

Questions have also been posed to this school to ask if student(s) involved in other incidents during last school year returned to that school. No answers

Maybe Taylor can take this one, after all he is a B-CC alum.

My kid goes to a high poverty but very well run school (not MCPS) and they keep that place extremely safe for the kids. Here’s what they do:

- metal detector to enter.
- security guard at entrance
- strict no-phones policy (so no social media fueled fights at school )
- fully staffed behavioral response team to quickly descalate any altercations
- very strict and consistent policies on giving detention/suspension for violence
- very tight control over arrival and dismissal

One thing this school also does is, to the extent possible, remove extreme troublemakers by sending them back to their homeschool if they are attending out of bounds. Not all school districts work that way, but the ability of the school to effectively give alternative placements for some kids uninterested in learning makes a big difference.
