(UPDATES through 2/29/24) Worcester school safety

(2/29/24- Worcester County Sheriff's Office) 

School safety will always be our top priority and we will continue to stand behind the principles that we can always improve. We need to harden the target of our schools, with weapons detection systems, and foster an environment where students and staff feel safe.

Please listen to Sheriff Crisafulli and State’s Attorney Heiser on WGMD 92.7, discussing the issues of safe schools.

The closed meeting held by the Worcester County Board of Education on Wednesday morning was patently illegal. The Board is allowed to hold closed meetings for two purposes; personnel matters and financial negotiations.

Meeting to discuss excuses or how to cover your butt are not valid reasons for closed sessions.
