...But, she said, MCPS should not have kept him in a position where he was the only adult responsible for children.
She said she is looking into when Montgomery County Police informed MCPS of the investigation and when MCPS informed schools.
"When any adult school employee has any child pornography charges, especially when they are the only adult with the children, I think they need to let parents know," Miller said.
She said she plans to propose legislation in Annapolis to ensure students are protected in the future.
