MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. - Montgomery County Public Schools held a meeting Tuesday night to address concerns about students and gun safety. It comes after two separate gun-related incidents that put Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School on lockdown last month.
While the recent lockdowns happened at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School the impact was felt in the surrounding community leaving parents wanting to know how to prevent another emergency.
This was the fourth safety meeting in two and a half years and that has parents concerned and angry.
A wide array of topics were discussed, from who is responsible for calling a lockdown to where to go for official information.
"That happened at 10 a.m. Why are kids allowed out of the campus at any time of day?" one attendee asked. "Why can’t they stay on campus during school hours?"..

In order to quell and appease the very angry crowd
ReplyDeleteSomeone said that we will not lose anymore ground
Then, along came the one whom they all call Jones
The police force in now flying state of the art drones
Because it is deemed hazardous to enter danger zones
The councilmember promised to the anxious audience
More paraphernalia to fill up the nearly empty quiver
But, due to the budget shortfall unlikely won't deliver
The perennial proclaimer was sought for advice sound
But, he was preoccupied with previous presentations
So, was not readily available and nowhere to be found.
