Board of Education Addresses School Safety Concerns Raised By Sheriff, State’s Attorney; School System To Form Task Force

In a statement released Tuesday evening, the Worcester County Board of Education stressed that schools were not unsafe and reiterated the school system’s commitment to providing a safe learning environment for students. Nevertheless, the board said a school safety task force was being created.
