Carolyn Surrick has asked three things of Key School, her alma mater: publicly acknowledge years of sexual abuse of students by teachers, ensure the safety of current students and help survivors pay for therapy.
In January, the Annapolis private school satisfied two out of three of those requests. School leaders released a 45-page report describing decades of unchecked sexual abuse. Independent investigators retained by the school did not find evidence of current abuse at the school.
Now, the school is creating a therapy fund to provide support for alumni as they continue to heal “from the abuse inflicted by former faculty members,” officials said in a letter Monday. Backing for the fund will come from the school.
Survivors of abuse at the exclusive private school have requested this kind of support for years. The measure also comes under the guidance of RAINN, the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network.
