To Do Today: Let's Find that Dog - Flower Hill Elementary School Community

On March 9, 2015, at the Flower Hill Elementary School morning drop off a 1st grader was bitten by a dog. The dog was on a leash and was being walked by an adult bringing another very young student (possibly a kindergartener) to school.

A dog bite report was made to Montgomery County, but no action was taken to find the dog.
The Flower Hill Elementary School Principal has not alerted the community and has not asked for help in finding the dog. Flower Hill Elementary School is in Gaithersburg.

It's been a week. If the dog is not found by Wednesday the victim of the dog bite will need to get rabies shots. Someone in this school community knows who walks a dog to school. Let's find that dog today!

What The Washington Post said about the Parents' Coalition

The coalition might be the best-known parent advocacy group in the region. Its members represent several constituencies, including parents of special education and gifted education students and fiscal watchdogs. The group's defining victory came this school year when the school system scaled back the fees charged to families for course materials.

Coalition leaders have drawn attention to the misuse of funds collected from students for activities, the broadcast of a commercial radio service on school buses and, with their "Weast Watch" blog, the travel habits of Weast and his lieutenants.

Jerry Weast on the Parents' Coalition

"Along the way, you’ve had a challenging relationship with the Parents’ Coalition, the network of citizen activists who use the political process and other means to hold MCPS accountable.

The thing people accuse me of is listening, but not hearing. I hear, but I do not always agree. I am sorry that the world is faster than it was 10 years ago. I did not do that. [But] if we do not keep up, then our kids will be behind. We have to stop whining and get real."
