SNOW HILL– Education officials are working with law enforcement to evaluate school safety concerns, according to a joint statement released Tuesday.
Worcester County State’s Attorney Kris Heiser, Sheriff Matt Crisafulli and three Worcester County Board of Education members issued a joint statement this week after meeting several times.
“The Office of the State’s Attorney, the Sheriff’s Office and the Board of Education are committed to participating in ongoing meetings and discussion and to taking actions necessary to achieve the highest level of safety and security in Worcester County schools,” the statement reads.
On Sept. 21, Heiser and Crisafulli sent a letter to the school system outlining serious concerns about the safety of local schools. She and Crisafulli made it clear that law enforcement officials have ongoing concerns about the lack of notification they receive from school officials regarding criminal activity in schools. That’s despite the fact that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the sheriff’s office and the school system in August stipulates that school staff will report crimes to school resource deputies.
In the weeks since that letter, various closed session school board meetings have been held. According to this week’s joint statement, a task force made up of law enforcement as well as education officials is also now meeting.
Maybe they can take a look at Wicomico. I went to BMS to pick my kid up today. As I arrived, there had been a stabbing. Deputy unlocked the doors for EMS to roll in right in front of us. Can’t wait to see how Wicomico tries to sweep this under the rug.
Your kids bring gang related problems into the schools. If you can’t raise them like humans stop having them. That girl needs to go to jail along with her parents.
