It was a very specific article that talked about how MCPS kept a list of suspects and somehow it got leaked.
Unfortunately I can’t remember if it was WaPo or someone else.
Here it is...

If this is true, I'm surprised no parent has sued the school about this.
It is true and they have.
Wow. MCPS has a list of 222 employees suspected of child abuse. What???
Where is the PP who is always on here defending MCPS with regards to sexual assault incidents? I’m waiting for him/her to come on and say that 222 is just a small percentage of MCPS employees so we shouldn’t stress about it.
I'm one of many people who have been here "defending" MCPS. I went to your link, and it does not seem to me to be authoritative or reliable, and it is definitely not substantiated anywhere in any other news outlets. One single "concerned parent" claims to have seen this database of 222 people. It sounds a lot to me like Joe McCarthy claiming there were 81 communists in the State Department. (Do you know who that is?) This woman may have seen a list of employees on probation for something or a list of employees about whom someone had complained or anything at all really. This is unsubstantiated, inflammatory "news" from a single source who is on a mission. Fortunately, MCPS teaches its students information literacy.
Another "not authoritative or reliable" news story about MCPS and their secret database of staff with "inappropriate or suspicious behavior toward children."
MCPS wouldn't tell WUSA9 who is on it, but we've learned the school system keeps a "confidential database" of personnel who demonstrate "inappropriate or suspicious behavior" toward children - a watch list of suspected abusers who are working in area schools.

Maybe. But I feel like MCPS has ALOT of these incidences. Several a year!
Do other school districts have such a widespread problem? I do hear this on the news occasionally and it’s usually an isolated incident.
MCPS appears to have an epidemic of adults having sex with students. Maybe it would be beneficial for MCPS to take a look at why this is. Seems reminiscent if the Catholic church. Is ther e a culture of cover up? Are they just moving Teachers around to different positions like the church was doing with it’s priests?
You live in MoCo, and are hyper aware of what goes on in mcps. People who live in other districts will feel the same about their's. It's normal. Plus, as a PP noted, MCPS is huge... something like #13 in size in the country. It's bound to have its share of pedophiles.
as a parent in mcps, of course, I find it troubling. But I do try to put things in perspective. Did this person have a record? Did MCPS not do a background check on this guy? We have a nationwide broken system where a pedophile teacher can go from one state to another because states don't share details. Substitute teachers are especially hard to track as they move around a lot.
I went to a larger school district than mcps, and we had a lot more sh1t going on.
I don’t think that’s completely true.
If it’s one event every decade versus a dozen incidents over two years, it’s reasonable to deduce that there may be a systemic issue that MCPS should address.
The ISSUE is the lack of background checks. For the fiftieth time MCPS does not do background checks. They do criminal background checks. There is a huge difference.

You live in MoCo, and are hyper aware of what goes on in mcps. People who live in other districts will feel the same about their's. It's normal. Plus, as a PP noted, MCPS is huge... something like #13 in size in the country. It's bound to have its share of pedophiles.

Agreed about the hyper awareness. My cousin lives in AZ and her district reports twice as many incidents of child abuse by school employees, but I only know that because of her FB feed.
Do you really things that's it though? It's only because of 'hyper awareness' that sexual predators seem to common amongst MCPS staff?
That seems to imply that it's not really a problem. I completely disagree. If MCPS is 222 employees working for them that are suspected of child abuse, that sounds unacceptable to me. Most jobs with MCPS (from maintenance to teachers) allows some access to kids. Shouldn't we make an effort to keep kids safer?
I have family in other parts of the country also - NJ and California. I don't hear about this as much. Though I do have a friend in AZ and they appear to have some issues there!

Yes!! Thank you! That is exactly what me and the other PP were referring to. I was horrified when I read that article and that was last year.
I wonder if any of these recent sexual predators were on that list.
