dp.. oh please. They didn't follow procedures twice now.


Clarksburg + Blair + Magruder = 3 times MCPS didn’t follow the law. Clark’s burg and Blair happened before Magruder. Perhaps things could have been learned with Clarksburg and Blair to improve safety before the Magruder incident happened.

MCPS has Central Office employees who should be on top of the reporting requirements as part of their jobs.


Let’s not forget the Damascus rape case where admin basically tried to just pretend nothing had happened. This is a pattern in MCPS. We see it over and over.


+1 Loudon County had a grand jury investigation that uncovered a whole host of problems. Montgomery County needs to do the same.


As soon as I heard about the LCPS Superintendent getting fired I wondered about when, not if, this will happen to McKnight.


The BOE that just gave her the permanent job is going to turn around and fire her?


That's what they did. Ziegler had just been hired in 2021. He didn't keep kids safe. He's gone.


Not gonna happen in MoCo


MCPS has a responsibility to follow all the laws. This goes for reporting serious incidents, reporting grades, reporting attendance, and following anti-discrimination laws including Section 504 and IDEA. Students suffer when MCPS uses their positions of power to hide problems vs. fixing problems when they occur. That is what a grand jury uncovered in LCPS. Montgomery County should have a grand jury investigation for MCPS.


The Clery Act only applies to higher education, not K-12. It was introduced because universities were failing to notify students and staff about crime on campus, and trying to handle on-campus crimes include rape "in-house" instead of turning it over to the local police. We need the same for K-12 schools.


Why must you use facts to detract from these fake scandals? Sure there weren't any laws broken but we were trying to pretend that MCPS was somehow delinquint.


MCPS admitted they didn't follow the law. That's a fact.
But you have to earn your MCPS PR salary, so keep posting garbage all day. Maybe do some Wordle on the side, but keep at your lame attempt to cover up MCPS
violating the law.


As a PP pointed out, the law you're referring to isn't applicable to MCPS.

OMG OMG OMG you think this would be a matter for the police and DA. ..


It's like asking CVS to hold press conferences on the car break-ins in their parking lot. It's a police matter. MCPS is not in the law enforcement business.


Except that MCPS actively tries to not get MCPD involved. Look back at the news articles about the Damascus rape case and the Rockville rape case. Or talk to families in those clusters. MCPS did not want to involve the police, and held off doing so.


Exactly. They shoved police out of schools. School safety is 100% MCPS' responsibility now. 100%. All of this is on them. And because of that, they will sweep incidents under the rug as much as possible.

And MCPS seems to take that responsibility seriously and fully complies with the laws. If you have credible evidence that they aren't (not a FOX news opinion piece) please share.


The failure to report serious incidents at Clarksburg, Blair, and Magruder shows MCPS employees do not take their responsibilities to follow the law seriously. State letters of findings and recent agreements with the US Department of Education (all searchable and are public information with FOIA requests) also show serious civil rights violations by MCPS. Even staff members have reported acts of retaliation. There’s a general theme that aligns with LCPS regarding higher levels of school administration knowingly not fixing violations even after problems are identified.


Actually they were reported but not to you. Sorry if that makes you feel sidelined but MCPS has a lot of bigger fish to fry than catering to your every whim.


Glad you can joke about MCPS not following the law. They didn't report to the Governor.

It is just meetings folks.
My Gosh!!


Did they have timely meetings for the Whitman student that attacked the Churchill students with a knife?


Or what about the Springbrook student raped in a school bathroom?

The amount of gaslighting in MCPS only makes administrators look like cold hearted a-holes who want to cover up problems vs. doing the work to educate and protect students.

What a ridiculous analogy.

No, it’s like multiple CVS employees at multiple stores being victims of crimes by other CVS employees, while working at CVS.

Because that is what is happening in MCPS. Our students are victims of crimes (either from other students or from faculty/staff/bus drivers). It is definitely a problem that MCPS should be acknowledging and addressing.


Speaking of ridiculous... You may want to look in the mirror.

They didn’t have the review meeting and they didn’t file the necessary report. We are talking serious incidents that had the potential of killing a student. Not something MCPS should take lightly. Doing the necessary review at the first incident would have been helpful for MCPS’s response to the next two incidents.

FYI if you want another example of MCPS administrators not following the law, think of how MCPS handled Damascus.

DCUM gonna DCUM.

Maybe they were working on keeping kids safer and never got around to having a meeting and filing a report.

dp.. oh please. They didn't follow procedures twice now.


Clarksburg + Blair + Magruder = 3 times MCPS didn’t follow the law. Clark’s burg and Blair happened before Magruder. Perhaps things could have been learned with Clarksburg and Blair to improve safety before the Magruder incident happened.

MCPS has Central Office employees who should be on top of the reporting requirements as part of their jobs.


Let’s not forget the Damascus rape case where admin basically tried to just pretend nothing had happened. This is a pattern in MCPS. We see it over and over.


+1 Loudon County had a grand jury investigation that uncovered a whole host of problems. Montgomery County needs to do the same.


As soon as I heard about the LCPS Superintendent getting fired I wondered about when, not if, this will happen to McKnight.


The BOE that just gave her the permanent job is going to turn around and fire her?


That's what they did. Ziegler had just been hired in 2021. He didn't keep kids safe. He's gone.


Not gonna happen in MoCo


MCPS has a responsibility to follow all the laws. This goes for reporting serious incidents, reporting grades, reporting attendance, and following anti-discrimination laws including Section 504 and IDEA. Students suffer when MCPS uses their positions of power to hide problems vs. fixing problems when they occur. That is what a grand jury uncovered in LCPS. Montgomery County should have a grand jury investigation for MCPS.


And MCPS seems to take that responsibility seriously and fully complies with the laws. If you have credible evidence that they aren't (not a FOX news opinion piece) please share.


The failure to report serious incidents at Clarksburg, Blair, and Magruder shows MCPS employees do not take their responsibilities to follow the law seriously. State letters of findings and recent agreements with the US Department of Education (all searchable and are public information with FOIA requests) also show serious civil rights violations by MCPS. Even staff members have reported acts of retaliation. There’s a general theme that aligns with LCPS regarding higher levels of school administration knowingly not fixing violations even after problems are identified.

There was no opinion piece. There was an ABC7 news report on MCPS admitting that they did not follow the law.

The school system must then hold an after-action meeting and review within 45 days of the incident and file a report with the governor within 60 days following the meeting.

MCPS confirmed that report. A meeting and required review did not occur within the necessary time frame after the stabbings at Blair and Clarksburg High Schools.

OMG OMG OMG you think this would be a matter for the police and DA. ..


It's like asking CVS to hold press conferences on the car break-ins in their parking lot. It's a police matter. MCPS is not in the law enforcement business.


What a ridiculous analogy.

No, it’s like multiple CVS employees at multiple stores being victims of crimes by other CVS employees, while working at CVS.

Because that is what is happening in MCPS. Our students are victims of crimes (either from other students or from faculty/staff/bus drivers). It is definitely a problem that MCPS should be acknowledging and addressing.
