Harford County Council President Pat Vincenti has ordered an investigation into Harford Schools Superintendent Sean Bulson, after claims came to light Tuesday that Bulson may have reported school property stolen from a New Orleans hotel room in 2024.

A 911 call obtained by Fox45 News from the New Orlean Police Department has a caller from a Maryland 443 area code, identifying himself as Sean Bulson, saying an unknown Black woman in a green dress stole a wallet, laptop, two phones and an Apple watch from his hotel room in April, during the same time that the superintendent was attending the National School Boards Association Conference.

Vincenti, a Republican who is running for county executive in this year’s election, said in a Wednesday news release that he has asked County Auditor Chrystal Brooks and the state Department of Education to immediately investigate “the expenses and attendance at the educational conference held in New Orleans in April of 2024.”

“Like many of you, I am deeply disturbed by the information released earlier today by Fox45,” Vincenti wrote in the release. “If these allegations prove to be true, I fully support the resignation or removal of any Harford County Public Schools leadership and anyone else who may have been involved.”

Harford County Executive Bob Cassilly said in a Tuesday statement that Bulson should resign.

“Schools Superintendent Bulson has violated the public trust. He must resign or be terminated by the School Board. Harford County and our students deserve better,” Cassilly said.

Bulson, who was hired in 2018, has faced various calls for resignation related to school safety, including handling of last year’s Joppatowne High School shooting. Most recently, Harford County Public Schools was criticized for employing a teacher aide who has active gun charges,
