The Board of Education of Anne Arundel County and Superintendent George Arlotto today released the following statement on the passing of former longtime Board counsel and former Board Member P. Tyson Bennett:
“We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Tyson Bennett, a kind, caring, and dedicated man who devoted decades of his life to the betterment of the children of Anne Arundel County. Serving first as a Board member and then as the longtime counsel to the Board, Tyson was a gentle giant who could be counted on for sage and well-thought-out advice that moved our school system forward. The fruits of his efforts can be seen in the countless lives he made better, and his influence on our school system and, therefore, its children, will be felt for decades to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tyson’s family, friends, and colleagues.”
