Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Superintendent Monifa McKnight notified the public about the incidents in a statement released on Saturday, Fox5 reported. The statement did not name the schools

For each case, "students and the staff addressed the vile impact of the hateful images, worked to immediately remove the drawings, and in each case, appropriate discipline in alignment with the MCPS Student Code of Conduct was assigned," McKnight said.

She added that the antisemitic vandalism was not the first case to occur this year at a school in Montgomery Country, a suburb of Washington DC and the most populated county in the state of Maryland.

"In collaboration with advocates such as the Jewish Community Relations Council, we will continue our efforts to educate our students about antisemitism," she said.

A letter given to parents with children at the Silver Creek Middle School said that one of the incidents took place at the school on Thursday.
