The fact is the kid who was shot had the monitoring. So now that people know he was the victim, because he was a "bad kid" with an ankle monitor, it's his fault he got shot. /s

Asian is brown.
The important thing to learn from this incident is that black and brown kids don't belong at Wootton, never belonged at Wootton, and will never belong at Wootton. Or Wootton @ Crown.

So it should just be an Asian and White school? Define "white"

This is a recurring pattern we’ve seen many times in MCPS. Here’s the problem. MCPS needs to actually Do something when bullying is reported.

I would like to know the same thing. The bracelet means the kid's been in trouble with the law and barely avoided incarceration. What on Earth are they doing in school, with general ed kids??

We have them in every middle and high school. In a lot of cases, they are being brought into schools like Whitman and Wootton through special programs like SESES or group homes. We defunded most of the separate school placements and it takes an act of god to get a dangerous kid into one of the few remaining spots.

The SESES is not for children who are criminals. It is for students who have gone through the special education process and have been diagnosed by the school system, and more than likely their own private doctors, with interfering mental health conditions. This program is extremely hard to get into, and children who are violent and engage in criminal activities are not the target population. Unless you have first hand knowledge of this program either by sending your child to it, or working in it, I'd encourage you not to try to explain what the program is, or what type of student is in it. There ARE some special education behavioral based programs in other areas that are school to prison pipelines- when I worked in another state and advocated for a student of mine to go to the equivalent of SESES in that state, I was told there was no way my student would qualify because he was truly mentally ill and not a criminal. But MCPS does not operate in that way. Finally, the students in SESES are occasionally aggressive and dysregulated- that's why they are in the program. But, they are also so heavily supported with teachers and paraeducators, social workers, school psychologists, and behavior support teachers, that it is extremely rare that they are the behavior problems in a school.

SESES at Northwood does not work well. It is not a closed program and is integrated into the larger school. Well intentioned perhaps but many of the SESES kids roam the hallways and cause a lot of fights and disturbances. The classes are a joke. The staff are not equipped to deal with the problems these kids are going through

The mother of the victim did an interview with NBC4. I'm not a psychic, but based on her interview, it seems highly doubtful that her child was wearing an ankle monitor. She also threw major shade at the admin/counselor.

The Lakewood principal is on record saying he was not. Ask any Lakewood parent. Our principal has told us many times, CEO was not at Lakewood. Staff are also saying they never saw the CEO at Lakewood.
Why is the media not asking this question?

They will now that you posted the confusion. They do read these forums.

Op here. I don’t know if you are trying to be funny because I’m being very serious. I’m posting here out of desperation. No one can answer this and it’s been well over 24 hours later.

Business for Lakewood wouldn't necessarily mean being at Lakewood.

I'm curious- why do you think this is important? Surely you don't think it would have changed anything if he was at Wootton during the shooting.

+1. It is not like he could have prevented it if he was at Wootton at that time.

If the Lakewood principal and staff all say he was not, this is a huge accountability issue.

What in the world is going on?

This is why CEO's do not work.

None of these types of people are effective.

This guy was most likely at Falls Grove getting food or somewhere else off campus running errands or doing something else instead of his job.

The media is not a mindreader. Send a tip to them so they can follow up and include the message from the Lakewood principal:

WTOP tip line: https://wtop.com/submit-news-tip/

NBC4 tip line: https://www.nbcwashington.com/investigations/submit-tip/

Are these tip lines anonymous? I’m not trying to publically come after the police…
