🌱 Glass Challenge + Sexual Assault Investigation + School Fight

Happy Sunday, people of Glen Burnie! Let's get you all caught up to start today off on an informed note.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and cooler. High: 49, low: 30.

Here are the top 4 stories today in Glen Burnie:

1. A challenge was made to the Glass Glen Burnie Foundation (GGBF) to show our community they have the proper vision for their land and property for which they are entrusted. It also challenge them also to let their actions more accurately reflect their own mission statement, including "properties preserved as historic buildings and grounds for the education and other benefit of the public forever." Certainly when one thinks of preservation , the sale of land for development of 74 homes doesn’t cross your mind. Yet that’s exactly what GGBF has planned, as shown by their purchase agreement with Elevate homes, an out of town developer, who is requesting a PUD rezoning of the 20 back acres of GGBF land that abuts the newly constructed Trails enjoyed by so many.

2. On Sep. 28, the Anne Arundel County Police Department was notified by school officials of allegations involving a sexual relationship between a student and an employee of Old Mill High School. The School Resource Officer and school officials interviewed the student as it was learned that the student was sexually assaulted by the staff member the day prior, 09/27/2021. Notification was made to the Board of Education and the staff member was banned from returning to Old Mill High School while the investigation was ongoing. (Southern Maryland News Net)
