No. In the U.S. special education students and English language students can stay in school until 22 (well more like 21 but to be technical we will say 22). And there are many many many EL students who are good students and hard workers trying to get a diploma when they got here at age 16/17 and began school late and need more time. They should not automatically be shuffled to “the alternative school.”

Throw the book at the adult- I don’t care about his immigration status. He is assaulting children so be done with him

Beyond the principal, who else at the school knew of this and didn't report it? Failure to report an adult assaulting children is a crime unto itself.
It is very possible many adults reported this kid for many reasons and bizarre Byzantine “discipline matrices” had to be followed or “there wasn’t proof” or they didn’t want to suspend/expel because the data looks bad and he was clearly an EL student to be there at that age. But I promise you, as a high school teacher, I’d get anything MANY adults in that building reported this kid and tried to get him out of there and are now seeing this like yep, we begged you to do something.

At least one of the girls has retained counsel so it will be interesting to see if the school wants to settle with her.
FCPS will spend more on legal fees fighting the girls than they would spend by settling.
Settling what? FCPD responded to a call on March 5th, the alleged assailant was arrested on March 7th.

Are you really still holding on to the idea that the principal wrote that letter? FCPS writes the letters, or at least the important parts, to the community whenever there is an incident like this.
Who is “FCPS”? Reid? An attorney? The principal let it go out under her name knowing it libeled the victims. For that she should be fired. If others participated in drafting a letter which lied to parents they should similarly go.
I don’t think it would be surprising to most people to discover that attorneys or communications teams write or edit letters that go out under a principal’s name in legal matters like this. Also, the idea that a principal “let” something go out is laughable. When you work for an organization or a company, unfortunately, you send what you are told to send. Any principals or former principals willing to speak up on this?
Also, can someone help me understand why you think a principal would cover something like this up? There is no possible way a person who cares about students and also knows that they could lose their job would knowingly allow someone to hurt the kids we are there to protect. It doesn’t pass the common sense test, as much you might want to believe it.
Why would we assume that the principal cares about the kids they are there to protect or imagines that failure to protect them would probably lead to a job loss?
All sorts of people--police officers, doctors, commonwealth attorneys, presidents-- have shown since time immemorial that taking an oath/getting hired under a job description to protect, serve and assist says nothing about the character of the individual in the position and will not compel them to act according to said oath/job description.

I promise there’s a million emails of staff warning them about this kid. We see, we tell admin, nothing happens, until or unless it does, and then it’s like OMFG. I think sometimes it’s just by the grace of god that more incidents like this don’t happen in schools because the amount of red flags we send up that get ignored is appalling.
