Overview

  • Board members voted to suspend Superintendent Sean Bulson with pay and tapped Deputy Superintendent Dyann Mack to serve as acting superintendent.
  • The board directed the Maryland State Inspector General to lead the investigation after an earlier motion to fund a separate internal probe failed.
  • Board President Aaron Poynton resigned the next day, saying his departure relates to a new job opportunity rather than the controversy.
  • An internal review reported no student data compromise and said the district has possessed the laptop and cellphone that were reportedly taken.
  • County Executive Bob Cassilly renewed calls for Bulson to resign, Council President Pat Vincenti requested audits of the conference expenses and attendance, and police records cited in reporting trace the 911 call to a 443 number assigned to Deputy Superintendent Eric Davis with no NOPD report on file.
