TOWSON, MD—Baltimore County Public Schools officials have responded after a physical education teacher was arrested on sex abuse charges.
On June 11, police announced the arrest of 40-year-old Sean Brooks, a physical education teacher at Perry Hall High School. He has been charged with sexual abuse of a minor, which stemmed from alleged crimes that occurred on school premises.
BCPS has issued the following statement on Wednesday:
Dear Staff, Parents and Caregivers:
I am writing to inform you of the arrest of Sean Brooks, a physical education teacher at Perry Hall High School. Mr. Brooks is charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse of a minor.
BCPS is fully cooperating with law enforcement on this matter and Mr. Brooks is on administrative leave and is barred from BCPS property. These charges are deeply disturbing, and this alleged behavior is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
Mr. Brooks was hired in August 2017 and has worked at Perry Hall High School since that time. I understand that students and staff who know Mr. Brooks may have questions and concerns about this arrest and may need to speak with someone to process their feelings in a safe space. Counseling staff will be available to speak with students throughout this week. Please call 443-809-5110 for support.
Ensuring a safe learning environment for our students is our top priority.
