  PGCPS Spokeswoman Lynn McCawley said all students had schedules for the opening of school on Monday, Aug. 31.
  ...
  McCawley said SchoolMax officials have been responsive in working with the district to resolve the software issues.
  
  "During the process of scheduling, the school system experienced glitches with the SchoolMax software. The vendor worked with us to provide 'patches' to fix the issues; however, this delayed the scheduling process for the 2009-2010 school year, allowing only three weeks for a typical 2-month process," she said.

  Attack at school spurs debate - [Cached Version]

  This is the 16th incident of school violence that necessitated medical attention since July 1, according to Lynn McCawley, a school spokeswoman.That number includes acts in kindergarten through the 12th grade and at summer school.
  
  McCawley could not provide past years' statistics, but she noted that school officials are trying to improve their ability to track school violence.
  
  "There's no easy database to tap into," said McCawley."They have [the reports] in an antiquated system, and they can [pull them up], it just takes some time."
  
  School officials last year unsuccessfully applied for a grant to install better software, McCawley said.She said officials will try again this year.
  
  Differing accounts
  
  The Gwynn Park student told The Gazette that he had enrolled in the school in August and met his attackers just days before the altercation.
  
  The student said he had asked one of his attackers about buying a jacket about a week before the fight.He said a week later, a bump in the hallway led to a verbal altercation between the boy and his attackers in the school cafeteria.
  
  Another schoolmate later told the boy that one of his attackers was planning to fight him because he felt disrespected.
  
  On Sept. 21, the 15-year-old said seven boys followed him to his classroom in a temporary building and told him to come outside.
  
  When he refused, he said two of the boys entered the classroom and attacked him in front of the teacher and several students.
  ...
  McCawley said that all temporary classrooms are equipped with an emergency call-in system like those at banks.
  
  "Students might not have seen her do anything, but she was pushing the [alarm] button like crazy," said McCawley."She thought she might have broken her call-in system because she was pushing it so hard.
  
  "And also, in addition, people in surrounding [temporary classrooms] heard the commotion and assisted," she said.
  
  James said that although the teacher may have pressed the call-in button, the teacher should have intervened as soon as she saw the students approach her classroom.
  
  She is considering suing the school system for giving her what she says is scant information about the attack on her son, such as the disciplinary actions taken and the incident reports that were filed.

  Even Prince George's County, which is closing school early on Monday to let teachers attend the rally, has not decided whether to let the service hours count, said county schools spokeswoman Lynn McCawley.
  
  "In order for it to be considered for student service ... they would have to hand out fliers or something," she said.They couldn't just "show up," because that is not service.The coordinator would have to find out exactly what the student was doing at the rally, McCawley said.
  
  But Montgomery County's Meador said the rally is definitely a part of service-learning: Advocacy is one of three different types of service-learning, she said.
