GLEN BURNIE, Md. – Staff members from a Catholic elementary school in Anne Arundel County have been suspended following an allegation of sexual abuse.

Parents from the Monsignor Slade Catholic School in Glen Burnie found out about the allegations this week.

A former student came to police and said he or she had been abused at the school in the mid-2000s.

Neither police nor the Archdiocese of Baltimore has confirmed how many staff members the allegations involve — only that more than one has been suspended.

They’ve also not said whether the suspended staff members are clergy or lay employees
“We can confirm that there has been an allegation of inappropriate contact between staff members and a former student at the school,” said Lt. T.J. Smith, a spokesman for the Anne Arundel County Police Department.
