Three emailed bomb threats to Montgomery Blair High School proved to be invalid, but not before police and school security spent time combing through the building and students lost class time sheltering in place or evacuating their school building.
Jack (MCM is not using the last names of any of the students) said he has difficulty getting out of bed to come to school in the morning.
When alerted to a recent possible bomb, Jack recalled, “I tensed up, and I froze. I texted my mom I love her.” While standing outside the McDonald’s on University Boulevard by his school Thursday, he added, “How cruel of him, out of nowhere to do it to us.”..

This is what we get when there are no consequences for their actions. Other school districts elsewhere in the country make the students take their books out with them so they can keep learning. Another extends the school day for as long as they are outside. Both school systems saw an almost elimination of false fire alarms and bomb threats. These should be MCPS policy!
