In follow up to our previous School Safety message, the Worcester County Sheriff's Office has notified WCPS that the previously referenced nationwide social media threat has been deemed non-credible. We appreciate the patience and understanding of our families throughout this matter, and we thank the Worcester County Sheriff's Office for their continued partnership.

Worcester County Public Schools and the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office are aware of a nationwide social media threat that has been circulating. The Sheriff’s Office received multiple reports of the post circulating within our community since yesterday evening. WCPS wants to make all of our families aware that this threat is being investigated by law enforcement, and out of an abundance of caution, an increased presence of law enforcement will be at our schools today. Schools are operating as normal today. We thank the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office for their continued partnership on this matter.

#WCPSInTheNews: Education News Source, The 74, highlights Worcester's performance with literacy: "Every state has its own pockets of success (represented as gold circles in the graphs). These “exceptional districts” are in the top 5% of their state, in terms of outscoring their expected reading proficiency rate. For example, Worcester County in Maryland serves about 7,000 students along the Atlantic coast. Worcester falls in the middle of the pack in terms of poverty, but it has by far the highest third grade reading proficiency rate in the state."
