WORCESTER COUNTY, Md.- After the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office video presentation on Thursday the Worcester County Board of Education issued a final public statement.

We believe it is counterproductive, and our focus must remain on keeping our schools the safe and welcoming learning environments that our students and staff deserve.”
