Back to you. 4 47 is the time and if now to news developing in Prince Georges County where the number of child abuse or misconduct cases in county schools continues to grow. And it is having a big impact on school staffing. Fox5s annie yu live from Upper Marlboro with the latest. Annie. Reporter hey, good morning, wisdom and maureen. Yeah, about a month ago in april we told you that the number of misconduct cases at that time was 636 and new numbers show that the problem here in Prince Georges County has not gotten any better. As a result of those cases, we know hundreds of faculty and staff, mostly teachers, have been placed on administrative leave and were told through a open records request that the numbers today now stand at 788. Were talking about over 780 cases recorder this year for alleged misconduct and cases in Prince Georges County. Thats 152 more cases than what was reported just one month ago and many of those staffers placed on leave will not be returning to work. So, what is going on . Some teachers tell fox5 that the high number isnt about the mass abuse but more about a system that is not working. Prince georges county schools, they revamped policies last year following some high profile child abuse cases in the county. Everyone agreed something had to be done but to to protect these students but some teachers, say, look, the system isnt working, its hurting more than its helping and basically one of the things that though to comply with is they have to report any and all suspicions of child abuse to protective Service Center city. Teachers say theyre afraid to touch a student who may need help so theyre saying the pendulum has leaned too far to the other direction and so as a result, its putting teachers out of these classrooms and its not helping the classroom environment for the students. So, School District tells us at these new policies that they revamped and that new training might be taking place as well this summer. Thats the very latest from Upper Marlboro. Back to you in the studio. Annie, thank you very much. 4 49 is the time right now. Some d. C. Police officers may start to look a little bit different now that chief Peter Newsham is in charge. The chief has changed two longstanding policies. Officers can now grow beards and wear earrings. We spoke to chief newsham earlier about the reason for the policy change. With regards to earrins we wanted to make our policy consistent across the genders and thats a legal mandate. And then with regards to the beards, that was a decision that i made because there were a number of officers that were requesting to have the beards and i think theyre theyre pleased with that decision. Previously only female officers could wear earrings and male officers could only grow beards if they were granted medical or religious waivers.
