On June 7, 2022, Maryland’s Inspector General for Education issued an Investigative
Report Summary in the above-referenced case (the “Report”), a copy of which accompanies this

cases
Accordingly, pursuant to the Annotated Code of Maryland, Criminal Procedure Article §
14-107, [hereby request that you investigate and prosecute as appropriate any alleged criminal
malfeasance, and any other matters, revealed in the Report.
You ate further authorized to use whatever services of the Maryland State Police or other
agencies of State government that you may consider advisable. This letter shall also serve as my
order to the Maryland State Police, pursuant to Annotated Code of Maryland, Public Safety
Article § 2-412, to assist you in these investigations.
Lawrence J, Hogan, Jr.
