After dropped rape charges, Montgomery Co. school safety review continues

WASHINGTON — After prosecutors announced they were dropping charges against two Rockville High School students accused of raping a 14-year-old classmate, the Montgomery County schools chief has called for “healing” in the school district.

But even with the dropped charges, the safety review spurred by the incident will continue, Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent Jack Smith told WTOP.

Already, reviews have been completed at Rockville High and five other high schools.

“We’ve taken a good, hard look at six of the high schools. We’ll complete all 25 of them by the end of May,” Smith said.
