Police in Anne Arundel County said they are investigating ‘inappropriate contact’ inside a Glen Burnie Catholic school. Investigators said their investigations centers around allegations in the mid-2000s between a staff member and student at Monsignor Slade High School.
“This is an ongoing criminal investigation into potential inappropriate contact between staff members and a former student. That investigation is ongoing,” Anne Arundel County police spokesman Justin Mulcahy said in an interview with WBAL-TV’s Lowell Melser.
The investigation began Tuesday afternoon. Police are not saying much.
Parents said they received the following message from school officials Tuesday evening:
Good evening parents/guardians,
I write concerning an incident that occurred at school today. Police officers were on campus this afternoon to speak with some members of our staff and conduct a criminal investigation. Though we have very little information, we wanted to make you aware of the presence of police at the school. The staff involved will not be on campus until we learn more information from the police. We have no reason to believe there is any kind of threat to our school or that there will be any disruption to our schedule. I look forward to greeting the students tomorrow morning. We will communicate further as soon as we get more information.
