Leasing Office Open Daily! The suit could be pursued by Melissa Willey, the mother of Jaelynn Willey, 16, STOP BY OR SCHEDULE YOUR TOUR TODAY!! who was murdered last year on March 20 just as classes were about to begin that day. Commissioner Todd Morgan said he and other local elected leaders had been advised by attorneys from the Local Government Insur- ance Trust (LGIT) that they were not party to any pend- ing suit. “We may have been named but we’ve been told we’re not part of it,” Morgan told The County Times. “The issue, as far as we’ve been told, is between the Board of Education and the state. “The Board of Education is under state statue; it’s not a county issue.” Schools Superintendent Scott Smith and School Board Chair Karin Bailey could not be reached for com- ment as of press time. The shooter, Austin Wyatt Rollins, 17, used a hand- gun legally owned by his parents to kill Willey; the same bullet he fired also wounded another student who was nearby, 14-year-old Desmond Barnes. The school resource officer, Cpl. Blaine Gaskill, re- sponded to the shooting in seconds and fired on Rollins at the same time Rollins used his own gun, which he had brought to school surreptitiously, to end his own life. According to police reports at the time of the shooting Willey and Rollins had shared a relationship that had ended prior to the shooting. Since the shooting Melissa Willey has advocated strongly for increasing school security at public forums before elected leaders. The school system has continued to improve school safety, including installing ballistic laminate on school windows, upgrading internal surveillance and even es- tablishing the use of hand held magnetometers to detect weapons entering schools.

Press Release from Sotterley Plantation Volunteers Sought for African American Schoolhouse

Are you looking for a unique volunteer opportunity? The St. Mary’s County Museum Division and the Uni- fied Committee for Afro-American Contributions are seeking individuals from the public to volunteer dur- ing any of the open houses held at the Drayden African American Schoolhouse in Drayden, MD. Volunteers would assist visitors in accessing and touring the historic site, as well as answering any questions they might have during their visit. The open houses are on the first Saturday of the month and other select days, April through October. The Drayden African American Schoolhouse is one of the nation’s best-preserved one-room African American schoolhouses, and its story represents a significant part of St. Mary’s County’s history. The schoolhouse was closed for several years, but with the completion of extensive building renovations in the spring of 2018, the public is now able to access the site during the open houses. The St. Mary’s County Mu- seum Division also offers special programs for school, bus and other tour groups who would like to visit the site. Visitors who would like to see the schoolhouse times outside open house hours can contact Piney Point to arrange a visit. If you would like to sign up to be a volunteer, please contact Karen Stone, Museum Division Manager, at [email protected] or 301-769-3235.
