the chair and the vice chair of the school board of excavation. we wanted a to see if he has a response for these parents and community members who are now demanding they step down. all four of these people declined our request for interviews on camera. >> they're unaccountable. they're jobs are safe even when they do empty embarrass mr. baker >> questions continues to shrill about who was aware of the alleged abuse of preschoolers as young as three years old in the headstart program in prince george's county public schools and whether there was a cover-up that may still be going on. >> to have the administration investigate itself makes knows sense. the individual that is caused the issue, the individuals that did not properly communicate this to the

attempting to investigate themselves >> edward borrowing was one of of the school board members that sent a letter last month asking to demand a resignation of the chair, vice chair and ceo of the board of education. all people ache pointed. at last night be board meeting, parents and community members demanded the same thing. >> you all are shameful because you're hurting my children and you all, ceo county executive chair and vice chair need to go. >> i don't doubt that you care about these kids but it has been followed up with action. >> the time has come. prince george's county residents, we will take back our school system. >> we took those demands to the county executive mr. baker but we're told he was not in his office. >> he has

educational issues over two decades fighting to provide quality education for all children. with over 30 years experience and relationship leadership, my doctorate degree and my commitment as a pgcps parent to public education, i bring a strong educational background to the board. the second statement we got was from the county executive rashern baker, he said i'm gladys to see that the that the prince george's county board of education will have a full debriefing harding the headstart matter. we cannot move forward collectively if we don't thoroughly investigate what happened in this case. and hold those responsible accountable. so this time around, mr. baker is not strongly coming out to say he supporters the ceo, chair and the vice chair. he has done in past. some other local leaders
