I think PP answered that it's not your child's school. Reporting through the proper channels protects a parent from being sued. At some point, we have to hope those at the top of MCPS care about the safety of our kids and want predators removed from the school system. If not, a situation like Blair happens where a supposedly lauded individual is wrecking the mental health of a generation of students. How the administrators of MCPS during that time frame could sleep at night, I don't know. I am a true believer of Karma so someday they will get what they deserve.

Meanwhile, I hope Jack Smith truly wants to prevent future Blairs from happening. He seems to be cleaning house. Only time will tell. But when a parent or a child speaks up, every level of MCPS should be taking the situation seriously because how many other students and families were too scared to do so or didn't know how to do so?

what do you mean by cleaning house? Is there any evidence of that? Other than the few directors and a special ed position or two? I don't think the magnet cuts are in the same category, more of a priority shift The entire place needs a thorough disinfection.

My child's school is not a magnet. There have been several administrative changes in the chain of command including a new boss for our principal's boss, a new boss for our principal, and a assistant principal who left mid-year. Hopefully we can get new blood this year for a principal because ultimately, the principal is the one who is ineffective. We have a huge drug problem and we have an issue similar to Blair's that has been reported but nothing has been done. The principal should have been let go or retired years ago. Ignoring problems never solves them.

When you are referring to "an issue similar to Blair's that has been reported but nothing has been done, PLEASE, contact the same reporter who reported the Blair story and provide whatever information you have about the issues at your school, how it has been reported, etc.

I'm organizing the hard data now along with a contact list of others to interview. I've already done most of the leg work on this and I am disgusted that MCPS is circling the wagons instead of protecting children. Given the scope of what I have discovered, this goes back for about 10 years thus far. The problem, who knows where this individual worked before being at our school and what he did there? That is where a reporter will have to follow up on.

That's the issue you're upset about?

No, of course not, but because he is retired, he will not face any real consequences for this, and it's galling.

Parents have complained too. The problem is that while there are reasons to be concerned, there's no evidence that he's crossed the line. (He was told to get off social media, but that's the only thing I know for sure he's doing differently.) To the person who's well-versed in this, what should we all be doing in cases like these to protect kids? I know to tell CPS/police, but what can they do over just a "creepiness" factor? And also it's not always the creepy teacher. Sometimes it's the well liked dude who parents know hangs out with school leaders and is considered a great teacher and "cool". There's a real unwillingness to deal with this bs, and I'm over it too.

Name the middle school. You don't need to name the teacher. It's the only way we can figure this stuff out. Vague comments helps the perpetrator and it's what he counts on

Yes. I was thinking the same. Is this a PE teacher? ONe was mentioned in a Blair Silverchips article but no mention of teacher or school.
