Officials say system not doing enough to address crime, violence
The school system is not doing enough to address school safety amid rising crime figures and growing incidents of violence, according to local law enforcement officials.
Worcester County State’s Attorney Kris Heiser and Sheriff Matt Crisafulli hosted a joint press conference Tuesday afternoon to share school safety concerns with the public. Though school system officials said last fall they’d work with law enforcement to address safety concerns, Heiser and Crisafulli said their recommendations have not been implemented and Superintendent Lou Taylor refused to attend their latest task force meeting.
“The crime rates in our schools are totally unacceptable and we cannot wait patiently for school officials to act at this point,” Crisafulli said. “They must treat this as a priority and not just proclaim this to be a priority.”
Carrie Sterrs, the school system’s coordinator of public relations and special programs, said Tuesday the school system was processing the information and was expected to discuss it during a previously scheduled meeting Wednesday.
On Wednesday afternoon, school officials announced a press conference for 11 a.m. Friday. Later Wednesday, Sterrs issued the following statement via email:
“The Worcester County Board of Education has met to review the information shared by the Worcester County Sheriff and State’s Attorney’s offices at their press conference on Tuesday. We want to assure our staff, students, and families that we are preparing to formally and publicly address these matters by means of a press conference on Friday, March 1, at 11:00 a.m. We will publish the link to view the full livestream of the press conference when it is available. We thank our school system community for their patience as we work to present accurate and complete information on this matter.”
