Sarah Katherine Magid, a former first-grade teacher at Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), was indicted Thursday on felony drug charges and ordered held without bond.
Magid, 34, of Burtonsville, was arrested in August following the March 23 death of a Washington, D.C. man from fentanyl toxicity. She is not charged in the man’s death.
She is charged with distribution of a controlled dangerous substance, which is a felony, as well as five other drug charges. A scheduling hearing is set for Oct. 18.
Magid was taken into custody without incident following a search of her home by Montgomery County Police and special agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement (DEA).
According to a previous police report, Montgomery County police detectives and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration specialists learned that the victim was in Montgomery County “in the days leading up to their death” and that a person identified as Sarah had been in contact with him.
Magid remains on leave from the school district, according to a spokesperson. She is listed in the staff director as unassigned in human resources and development.

ReplyDeleteMontgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) requires a background check for all new employees, contractors, and volunteers:
All new employees, contractors, and volunteers must undergo
a criminal background check, including fingerprinting.
Fingerprints are submitted to the Maryland and FBI criminal history databases.
There are no requirements. They are mere suggestions. MCPS administrators ignore these suggestions all the time. Take a look at the Department of Transportation that doesn't even drug test school bus drivers until AFTER they are hired. Just suggestions.
