Let's start the clock on the Board of Education's public statement regarding the arrest of former Broad Acres Elementary School teacher Richard Scherer.
MCPS has a robust public information office, they should be spitting out a statement any moment, correct?
On July 20, 2021, MCPS turned over the personnel file of former Broad Acres teacher Richard Scherer in response to a Grand Jury subpoena from the Western District of New York. Information contained in that file was included in the Criminal Complaint when Mr. Scherer was arrested last week.As of today, the Montgomery County Board of Education hasn't said a word about this arrest. In fact, the Board of Education never even told the Broad Acres Elementary School community that this teacher had his teaching license revoked in 2011 because of "notice of allegation of misconduct involving a student in any school system or any minor, or allegation of misconduct."
It's been just about 10 years since then Superintendent Joshua P. Starr wrote to the Maryland State Department of Education concerning this teachers' license. Clearly, the Montgomery County Board of Education has had ample opportunity to notify the Broad Acres Elementary School community of their concerns regarding this teacher.
They got away with not mentioning their concerns about this teacher for almost 10 years. But now, a Grand Jury has forced their hand.
Will the Montgomery County Board of Education ever notify potential victims?
Members of the public who have information related to this case are asked to call the Federal Bureau of Investigation at 716-843-1680.
