The school system shouldn't be responsible for students under their care?
You need an IEP if your kid can't follow simple directions during an emergency.

"umm" no. Parents generally do not have the immediate right to retrieve their children during the lockdown. The primary concern during such an event is the safety of all individuals on campus, and school authorities, law enforcement, and emergency responders will prioritize ensuring the students are safe and secure.
Somehow my kid was able to leave wnd walked home.
Somehow? Regardless, I am glad to hear they are safe and at home.
How do 20 random teens end up in a park nearby? Are they at BCC and just walk out? Skipped? Unrelated to the school? Frightening for all there and locally in the neighborhood.
Were ALL 20 teens from same school? If you don't know, don't spread rumors they are ALL from BCC.
I heard it was one kid each from 20 different MoCo high schools. It was a chess tournament, but one player didn't like another's aggressive move with his pawn, and then sadly it devolved into violence.
Chess players carry guns? Somehow I doubt it. Doesn't fit the profile.

No one is spreading rumors.
That's what the sentence, "Unrelated to the school?" is seeking to determine.

Kids got the same emails parents were getting, about a shooting in the community, not in the building. DC spent the time chatting with friends in a closet. This appeared to be less stressful than the lockdown last year, where police entered the school with canine units and tactical gear/weapons.
horrific, what it has come to : there's an incident that can be compared to as less than the last one.

Problem kids need somewhere to go. That's the issue, and it's actually a financial one.
Public schools are obligated to educate all kids.
Some kids with special needs can theoretically be placed in private schools, paid by MCPS, however in practice, the wait lists are terribly long and a lot of children with severe needs cannot get an appropriate placement at all.
The violent children have a similar problem: they have a school that can take them in, but due to space constraints, these children are placed back in mainstream schools after a while. Often not their home school, but another school. Sometimes violent kids attend several schools in MCPS before aging out of the system. They leave a trail of destruction, because their needs are complex and cannot be addressed (severe mental issues combined with disastrous home lives).
So we need to come up with more money to build a larger facility to educate violent minors. This is in everyone's best interest, because we do not want violent kids terrorizing adults and children in mainstream schools.
So, YOU are going to "teach/babysit" those students at THAT "larger facility?"

Any kid that is involved with shootings, car jackings, dealing drugs, fights, etc should not be allowed back at school the next day. It's ridiculous. These kids need to face consequences for dangerous behavior that puts peoples lives in jeopardy, massively, disrupts the community, interrupts learning, and monopolizes resources such as the police department.
Contact state officials. Blast media

MCPS has no handle on kids coming and going from the school buildings. Don't count on MCPS keeping your kids safe.
How about they just expel students who bring guns to school or carjack elderly people on the street before they return to school? That would be enough for me.

Waitz there are open bathrooms for your kid on a "regular" day?
Seriously. My kid is at RM and bathroom access is an issue on a good day. I’m envious.
Do you want your kid to have a lifelong degenerative disease?
I'm guessing you don't. Please stop making off-the-cuff remarks like this. My kid would rather have no bathrooms at all than her disease.
