OMG. It’s like the kid never existed. Awful.
I’m sure the school pressures the family to keep quiet. Despicable.
Ok, have any other conspiracy theories to share?
If a child were injured by a gun or knife in the school, we would hear about it.
This is just as serious and parents should know--how else will they be aware of the problem?
FCPS would serve itself well to be transparent. No names are needed. Privacy is protected. Knowledge might prevent more incidents. Or, maybe it is not happening. In that case the schools should address the rumors.
So-called student offenders have rights too you know.
Including the right to privacy.
Liar. Criminals do not have a right to keep their crimes private. That’s why the whole world heard about the six year old American kid who shot his teacher.

I asked my kid if she had heard of any OD at her region 4 HS and she has not. That’s how you will hear of it.
I can’t believe there is no disciplinary action when this happens. They can give help but they aren’t also suspended or kicked out? What happened to no zero policy? [/quote]
There were some suicides, so they got rid of it. They institutded "Zero tolerance" because there were more minorities being suspended, so they went to the other extreme and did not take circumstances into consideration.

I think that FCPS should provide a breakdown of instances so that parents can see the scope of the problem. Maybe an email breaking out the ODs by region and showing if it is a middle school or high school. (Or God, forbid, an elementary school).
Adding on to say, the ambulances could have been called to Cooper for ANY number of reasons. No clue if any were for ODs.
Cooper had some problems with drugs about 10 years ago that got a lot of attention, but nothing public recently.

Who exactly is allowing taxpayer funded public schools to cover-up these drug poisonings on public school property? I know that the media is complicit in these cover-ups. It’s a relatively new phenomenon.
It’s not a cover up. They can only say so much because of the kid’s privacy.
This is a blatant lie. No one here wants the victim’s name or any identifying information whatsoever. The TAXPAYER community DEMANDS to be informed of KILLINGS in its own communities when it’s not from natural causes, especially of a child. This cover-up started when public school administrators figured out they didn’t want us asking “what’s going on here?” Or “how did this happen?”
If a neighborhood child dies in a backyard pool drowning, there’s NEVER a cover-up by the family or the media. The press does its job and reports the basic facts, not the child’s name. They usually reiterate pool safety guidelines to remind the community of pool hazards.
You sound insane.
+1. So insane and also totally ignored the teacher upthread who said the families of three of her students over the years didn’t want information shared when they lost their child.
No one wants their personal information. The basic fact that a student died from a fentanyl poisoning at my child’s school is critical. Your cover-up will only fuel rumors. Have at it.

No, sounds very reasonable.
Thank you. The PP sounds like a defender of the egregious cover-up scheme hiding basic facts from other parents who have a right to know.

Where is this written? Why can people talk about this on social media?
Maybe they are trying to respect the family’s privacy. When (non-famous) people die, society normally relies on the family to share information.
Agree there is a social line but it is not a rule that people make it out to be. If you had no info but what numbers / incidents FCPS shareS right now, you’d think all the talk was just preventative and not bc it is happening in FCPS.
