Now be honest and tell everyone why penalties and discipline eased. I'll help you out: it didn't originate locally.
I liked Calvert County better when there were only two stoplights.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

“There is a deeply anti-democratic undercurrent to much of the criticism of the new president, borne aloft by an assumption that democracy is too important to be left to the voters.”
And if a statue can oppress you, then I submit that you have greater issues. - A West.

When the problem has a gun or a knife, or a gang of homies, kicking them in the balls becomes the anti-solution.

The state does it with funding. You don't have to do what the state wants, but if you don't, they don't fund the schools until you comply.
I know in PA it was a straight formula, the local school district got money on a per pupil basis. Each school didn't have to hire a grants administator to beg the state for money.

"And smaller bugs....." And the Feds do it to the State with funding.

You are correct. The political formula that Annapolis came up with for disciplinary issues did in fact result in the Counties watering down overall disciplinary actions. A few years after Annapolis did this, I wrote a Bill which in fact made its way through both sides and was signed by the Governor. "The Bill was unchanged by either side". The Bill created a Blue Ribbon Panel on School Safety. This panel was empowered to make recommendations to the the Governor and the Senate as to what our schools need. One of those recommendations created the Bullying and Intimidation Act along with the annual report all Counties that any of us can access on line. I believe it is usually completed by 31 March. It may take them a month or two to post it on line after it is published. All of you should not forget that Senator Waugh took Senator Dyson's place on the State Education Committee. If you feel as though schools are not where you believe they should be, I recommend that you contact him. If he is not responsive to your requests as I hear some have suggested, simply vote him out during the next election. I have heard complaints that he may be too cozy with the School Boards and not responsive to the citizens of the County. I do not know whether it is true or not. Perhaps all of you in the cyber World can shed some light. I base complaints in the same box as opinions. Everyone seems to have one.
Damn, a blue ribbon panel, how is this not fixed yet?
If what I say offends you then you really don't want to hear what I keep to myself.
Is political correctness two words or one? It's disgusting. I gave them a path to solve the problem. They choose not to take it. You will see the result now and in the future.
