SHERIFF CRISAFULLI & STATES ATTORNEY HEISER RESPOND TO WORCESTER COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION PRESS CONFERENCE
Worcester County, MD - Earlier today, the Worcester County Board of Education held a press conference in response to the press conference held by Worcester County State's Attorney Kris Heiser and Worcester County Sheriff Matt Crisafulli. Sheriff Crisafulli and State's Attorney Heiser have issued the following statement:
"The BOE President and Superintendent's attempt to defend their reputation and minimize the amount of violence in our schools does nothing to reassure the public that they are making safety a priority.
Despite their best efforts to label the Sheriff and State's Attorney as liars and data manipulators, their press conference today confirmed the two main points that law enforcement has been making for months: (1) that crime in schools is rising at an unacceptable rate and (2) that none of law enforcement's recommendations to improve school safety have been implemented by Worcester County Public Schools.
Now that the Board of Education and Superintendent have publicly acknowledged these two facts, we once again call on them to take immediate action on these recommendations to improve safety in our schools. State's Attorney Heiser and Sheriff Crisafulli remain ready to support, advise and assist school leadership in this mission, and will continue to provide transparency for the public moving forward."
