Brunswick High School student athletes face charges for locker room assaults

BRUNSWICK, Md. (DC News Now) — Five student athletes are accused of using a sex toy to assault classmates at Brunswick High School.

After 10 children needed to be rescued from a bus caught in rising floodwaters, the superintendent of Frederick County Public Schools in Maryland said she’s “deeply sorry” for keeping the system open for a full day as the remnants of Hurricane Ida bore down on the D.C. region.

In a note to the school community, Superintendent Terry Alban apologized.

“Our decision to remain open for a full day led to last-minute changes for families, along with stress and anxiety for many. For that, I am deeply sorry. My first priority is to keep students and staff safe. I am grateful that everyone was able to get safely to their homes,” she wrote...
